The council says it is needed to make savings and improve recycling rates. But Grace Billingham, 35, whose youngest child is in nappies, said it wouldn't work for families and "could lead to more fly-tipping".Hannah Winter, 51, and her partner Sharif Hussain, 59, said Bristol City Council's proposal was a "little crazy". Hannah added: "We are a family of three and we would struggle."They already shrank the size of the bins and for the average family it won't work.And if a lot of people don't do the food bin it will be stinky." Kelly Haskins, 45, thinks it will lead to more rubbish on the streets.<img src="https://cdn.magzter.com/1583504377/1731719626/articles/ebHdtiXc01731740897153/7793177762.jpg" alt="image">"It seems bonkers and it will upset a lot of people," she added. Adam Yas, 24, who has a baby, said: "Waste will pile up." The plan was revealed earlier this week in a leaked document that stated: "Through changes in regulation and increasing operational, inflation and investment costs, our waste and recycling service is facing an additional bill of £5million to £9million per year. Without cost reductions we may need to reduce services and performance standards." It added that from Monday next week, householders will be consulted on reducing their black bin days from fortnightly to every three or four weeks.Cllr Martin Fodor, chair of the environment and sustainability policy committee, said: "The council faces a significant challenge to ensure our city wastes less and recycles and reuses more. No decision will be taken without consulting with residents."
