UK residence only - How so you feel about most city/town people moaning about 2 weekly bin pick ups.?

All mine gets picked up every week so it isn't an issue. We only have a plastic tub for recyclables, a bin for food waste and a bag for garden waste (although I compost as much as I can). Where my folks live, they have a fortnightly pickup and have a large wheelie for recycling and they don't seem to have any issues either.
