I dont completely disagree with you, but it's not our (the paying public's) fault that the bins haven't been collected for circa 5 weeks, and it's not our place to be so high and mighty about what people eat and how much packaging is used.
You would be well within your right to expect your rubbish - no matter what type - to be collected weekly / bi-weekly, without the worry that rats / foxes etc etc will be rummaging through it.
