‘I have to ask my neighbour to put my rubbish in their bin’

With a young family, Ms Warner said even separating the waste for recycling was not enough.

“We’re having to sometimes ask neighbours,” said Ms Warner.

“We are, as a community, helping each other. We’re all trying to work together to make sure that doesn’t affect us too much.”

Another Bracknell mum, Lynne White, also struggles with how often the general waste is collected.

She said has resorted to “decanting” products she buys in the supermarket and the containers in their bins, to keep hers from overflowing.

Ms White said also noticed other people’s rubbish in her bin, and has seen larger families “struggling” with the collection times.
