Plans to share wheelie bins as soaring demand in continent leaves Britain short

'Householders could be forced to share wheelie bins because of shortages caused by soaring demand on the Continent.
Councils around the country have seen their stocks decline but have been told their suppliers are working at full capacity.
The shortfall has affected both large green wheelie bins and the smaller black recycling bins.
The problem is being blamed on a new environmental law in Germany which means every home has to have a separate bin for paper.
It means that this country needs an extra 40million bins.
Most of the manufacturers are in Eastern Europe and Germany itself and have been working flatout to meet the increased demand.
Some local authorities in Britain have therefore been unable to take delivery of more bins until January, according to the Local Government Association, the umbrella body for councils.
Town halls recommend sharing bins with neighbours, using black bags or driving to refuse dumps .'
