Select Committee on Communities and Local Government Committee Written Evidence

Memorandum by Graham Knowles (RC 56)

  As a former councillor now living in Luxembourg, may I offer you my observation of the excellent refuse collection service which operates here.

  The big difference in which is that our refuse collection bins are supplied in three sizes (80/160/240 Lt) X 1, 2 or more and residents are charged accordingly. Biodegradable bins, paper bins and bottle bin are similarly supplied, coloured and are free. All council rates are paid monthly by direct debit.
