Britain, away with wheelie bins!

There is something Britain could defo do without: wheelie bins. I figure here they are used after the American fashion but in the US yards are huge and trash cans are never in sight. In the Old World, the space is limited and in London a plastic container stuffed with rotting refuse easily takes up half the space of the front yard. Rows after rows of them are a eyesore on the cityscape.

It would be a good idea to learn from the neighbour across the Channel. In Holland, garbage is left in plastic bags outside just in time to be picked up by the truck. However, increasingly, there are underground storage facilities, where garbage is dumped into air-proof containers, which are later emptied by the garbage truck.
