Charlotte Cracknell, in Knodishall, near Leiston, however, said “it’s not as complicated as you think”, although she did have a little wait for her new bins.
“It was like a mirage actually when they were coming up the drive, it was like, ‘Oh gosh my bins are actually here,” she said.
“They are taking up lots of space, all lined up outside my garage, but they are here and at least I can now start planning.
“Some people are worried about maggots in the food bins but, in reality, you had them in your general waste bin anyway. So that doesn’t faze me.”
Another resident, from Kesgrave, said her street’s food waste bins had not been collected.
“We are in a cul-de-sac so all the houses put their bins in this one area, so there are 12 food bins waiting to be picked up, so you can imagine the smell,” she said.
“It has just not been thought through. It is absolutely crazy – it is a shambles.”
