our council provides us with a normal wheelie bin for household waste, a
green wheelie for compostable materials, a black box for metals and a blue
bag for newspapers, the latter three are only collected fortnightly.

You're lucky! Our council (Leeds) provides us with black bags for
household waste and a green bag for all recyclables. The green bag is
collected only monthly .... in theory! So far, despite phone calls, they
have failed to collect it at all.
