View this presentation on ‘The Horror of 240 Litre Wheeled Bins’ from the WasteMINZ Conference 2014.  In this presentation Duncan Wilson presents a range of data that demonstrates how large wheeled bins for rubbish drive wasteful behaviour.  Simply put, big bins encourage people to throw out more stuff.  Most of the extra stuff people put in the bins is garden waste. But there is also more recyclable material, and other things like tree stumps and TVs that should be recovered or properly disposed of.  The data is compelling.  It is more relevant than ever as private wheeled bins services become more popular. Such services can undermine efforts to recover and recycle.
