I see my neighbours bins every bin day overflowing and it's got me wondering how much rubbish do you think you actually produce per person each week?

Not including any recycling, or waste food collection which is separate, just what we call the black bin here, I reckon we as a household of two on average we put less than two black bin bags out a fortnight, that's less than half a black bag each a week.

Family of three, we fill a kitchen bin every four or five days seems like. I minimise plastic in my shop as much as reasonable, but it's still a factor.
