My thoughts on the matter and how the current fortnightly collections could revert to weekly. The only barrier to this is the councillors that form the controlling Labour group in the council chamber.

Fortnightly collection for general waste is not a good idea for the following reasons families generally create general waste and the bigger the family the more waste there is especially as almost everything you buy is encased in some form of packaging, not always readily recycleable.
Also there is the problem of waste becoming a health hazard over the fortnightly timescale, for instance chicken carcases, meat etc., and the larger the family obviously the greater amount may be created.
As for recycling the the lareger one bin is a good thing and that could remain fortnightly
