So plastic is going to go in the black bin and a new bin with a pink lid for general waste, trust Rotherham Council to make it as complicated as possible.
Green bin should be for garden waste and a blue one for plastic like other councils do.

So 4 bins in 4 different colours. Each to take a different type of waste. The human race has come a long way but, seriously, I think this is a step too far.
And electrical items, batteries and lightbulbs can't go in any of them and have to be taken to the waste recycling centre.
Rotherham Council have done this in a really stupid way (which is no surprise) changing what two of the bins are for, great for confusing old people.

Doncaster have black bin for rubbish, green for garden waste, blue for recycling and a green box for glass and jars.
All Rotherham Council had to do was bring in a new blue bin and leave the others the same.
Seems to be run by incompetents in all departments.

Apparently there was a vote for the pink bin? Why it was needed, like GF said we should have matched colours of neighbouring council, makes it easier for those living on the borders.
Their's is not the one that's confusing.
We've had a black bin for general waste turn into one for glass and plastic.
A green bin for garden waste becomes a bin for paper and cardboard.
The a new brown bin comes in for garden waste (but only if you pay extra)
And now a new bin with a pink lid for general waste.
It could have been handled a lot better, and easier.
