Don't be scared
Householders in four Essex towns are being invited to travelling exhibitions to learn how to use wheelie bins. Epping Forest district council is staging road shows to smooth the transition from black bag to bin.
People in Waltham Abbey, Theydon Bois, Ongar and Fyfield will be able to see test runs by council officers, who will explain the new technology.
"Residents who have never used a wheelie bin before will get the opportunity to see samples and find out how easy they are to move," explained a council spokesman. "A lot of people are elderly and this is aimed at relieving their fears."

Out of the mouths . . .
Not everyone is impressed with Mr Cameron's ideas. One teenager he met when he visited Fairbridge youth centre in Brixton, south London, shouted: "You don't know your arse from your elbow, you bastard." The boy was guided away by staff.
