Ellie, who works in the marketing and communications and department at Bristol University, added: “I used to live in London and we had one bin for recycling and another for general waste, so it was fairly quick and easy to sort it, and we could just leave it out for the collection team to sort through and separate the waste on the street.
One local, university worker Ellie, 42, told The Sun: “It’s always like this, even though we currently have fortnightly, not monthly, collections, so what the heck is it going to be like when they’ve been left out for another two weeks.
“We’ve already got a rat problem here, but with the rubbish left lying around - whether it’s in the home or out on the street - it’s going to horrendous.
LOCALS fear their streets are being overrun by an "army of rats" and their stinking bins left to rot under a "bonkers" new council plan.
Disgruntled residents in Bristol claim their city is already swimming in rubbish and the new policy, which is on the brink of approval, will make matters even worse.
