We won't be forcing councils or households to adopt any type of collections if it isn't what householders want.

The Myth
The Daily Mail has claimed today that ‘every home will be ordered to use a slop bucket under Coalition plans’.
The Truth
It’s not true that every home will be ordered to use a slop bucket and there is nothing that the Government either published or said yesterday which can justify the Mail’s claim. Where local communities want a local solution for collecting smelly waste, we’ll help councils deliver that - but we won’t be forcing councils or households to adopt any type of collections if it isn’t what householders want.
