In late July this year changes to the waste collection system in Cardiff were introduced in an effort to meet new government recycling targets.<\/p>\n

Ninety six thousand\u00a0homes in Cardiff have had their 240 litre rubbish bins<\/a> swapped with smaller 140 litre bins.<\/p>\n

There has been vocal opposition to the move and against Cllr Bob Derbyshire, the architect behind the changes.<\/p>\n

Community Journalist Geraldine Nichols said that she, \u201cCan\u2019t help but be worried as the changes come into effect that this is an ill-thought out and expensive scheme which is not suitable for the inner city areas of Cardiff.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cardiff Council missed the recycling target of 52% by 2% in 2013\/14 and targets for 2015\/16 have been increased to 58%.<\/p>\n

Every one percent below the recycling target could result in a \u00a3400,000 fine.<\/p>\n

The campaign against the bins is still taking place with #banbobsbins proving a popular Twitter tag among protesters.<\/p>\n
