How can people in flats recycle when this is the norm

Is it any wonder that residents living in some of our flats in Twerton don’t recycle their waste if the receptacles that they need to put the recycled materials are left in a state like this by the council.

The bins pictured are at Walwyn Close in Twerton and are shared by 3 blocks of flats residents tell me it is over 3 weeks since these were last emptied.

We have been onto the council regarding these bins and have asked that they are kept clear on a regular basis.

It is no good the council threatening to fine people for not recycling properly if they don’t provide the facilities that are usable  by residents.
