I have a pretty, if small, back garden with no side entrance. I have no room for ugly black bin.\u201d<br \/>\nAndy Skyrme said: \u201cSo because the council are not following their own policy of policing those who put food stuffs into white or green bags, they have now implemented a new policy, at great expense, of putting these eyesores in front of our houses &#8211; way to go Cardiff Council.\u201d<br \/>\nPractical objections were also expressed.<br \/>\nSam Thomas-Rees, said: \u201cDefinitely no to black\/green bins. The pavements on Kings Road aren\u2019t the widest and the bin men do not collect until later in the day. Huge inconvenience for wheelchair users and parents with pushchairs, having to meander around the ugly, heavy bins.\u201d<br \/>\nMany residents are refusing to take delivery of the new bins.<br \/>\nSue Thomas said: \u201cNot for me. I refused to have one and other folks have done the same.\u201d<br \/>\nAlice Dale said: \u201cI do know people who will be refusing the bin and taking their rubbish to the tip directly.\u201d<br \/>\nThis is the latest phase of the council\u2019s move away plastic bags.<br \/>\nPrevious roll-outs also caused controversy. In 2015, residents of Canton\u00a0marched to City Hall with their wheelie bins to protest their introduction.<br \/>\nIona Gordon, Labour councillor for Riverside, said: \u201cThere was an overwhelming response against this move when I consulted residents.<br \/>\n\u201cMany residents are very restricted as to what they do with their houses (because many are listed buildings) yet the council comes in and puts these monstrous bins in front of them.<br \/>\n\u201cI totally opposed the introduction of wheeled bins in the Cathedral Road conservation area but was overruled by the cabinet member for waste management, Michael Michael, and his team.<br \/>\nCoun Michael responded: \u201cBins are cleaner than bags and they leave less litter on the street. Thousands of other people in Cardiff have them and they work.<br \/>\n\u201cCoun Gordon is entitled to her views but we need these bins to get recycling rates up. I don\u2019t want the council to face fines of hundreds of thousands of pounds for failing to meet recycling targets.\u201d<br \/>\nAdrian Robson, leader of the Conservatives on Cardiff Council, said: \u201cThe waste management department need to work with residents to explain the benefits of bins and bring people on side.<br \/>\n\u201cA few years ago the council wound up conservation groups in the city; residents have had their voice diminished when dealing with conservation issues.<br \/>\n\u201cThe bins will affect the aesthetic of people\u2019s houses in the area.\u201d<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>If you live in Riverside and want to register your opinion on wheelie bins, email Coun Gordon at Iona.Gordon@cardiff.gov.uk.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A NEW roll-out of wheelie bins has begun across Riverside, despite objections from residents.
