Description

The 1960s saw the introduction of paper bags which were provided for householder's refuse collection. "Previously residents put out their own metal rubbish bins for collection and emptying by The Council. 'Safer, quicker and more hygienic bags' was the verdict on this innovation..." (Council and Community, 2002, Ian Matheson")
