Bin Night

I'm waiting, don't want to look too keen. None of the others are out yet.

It's ours tomorrow - feels a bit like Christmas Eve

out in the sticks it's bin night tonight. Green, black and brown already kerbside. it's like a game of snooker.

green for us tonight. gonna shred 30-40 bibles into it later just to get my money's worth.

^ good plan.

6th of 8 Black bins out, played it fairly cool but wanted to be out & back safely before it got too dark.

Surprisingly low uptake on Blue, being only the 3rd out of a possible max 8 (10 allowing for double households) out.

DM for pics.

Shocking blue bin news there!

No mention of Liverpool’s purple bins in here yet.

It’s Saturday and I am feeling the excitement building for tomorrow evening. It’s the full monty collection on Monday, cardboard/paper, metal, plastic, kitchen waste and landfill.

Haven’t eaten anything with a carcass so the food waste bin will not be utilised.

Have also been putting most of our brown cardboard into new veg beds so the paper waste will be pretty low.

Bin culture is strongly represented here in Leipzig, you must have felt right at home @fizzy.bleach

great pic @Tijmen and reminds me of the customs that develop in bin night cultures around the world.

in my village it was taboo to put your bin out at the same time as somebody else. traditionally, to prevent this, each villager would offer up a call into the bin night air as they wheeled the correct vessel out:

"SAINT HELENS GLASS"

"SAINT HELENS GLASS"

and if the response came back:

"HAS THE CLASS!"

the villager knew to wait five minutes so as not to steal the bin night energy from a neighbour.

of course, this custom has fallen by the wayside these days, and it's only really practised by the elders and the a few of the river peoples further inland

These are dark and frightening times, but the bin is out, so all is well.

Proper recycling effort in Merton. Love the commitment, snazzy boxes and OC packing.

How the hell are they sober enough to remember it's bin night?

Impressive, no? One could almost excuse the mixed recycling...

Also.

Thurs 7th May is a Full Moon. This must have significance for BIN COLLECTIONS that morning. I'll post more when I know more. I'll be dressing my brown bin up as Apollo 11 whatever happens.

It’s just landfill bags tomorrow. Some mild excitement building but not the full-on thrill of recycling collection and juggling all the aged rum empties, Observer supplements and President butter cartons to the top of the bag.

Bin Night Disaster. I let my neighbours use our bin for their overflow as theirs was full. They only went and put it out on my behalf. A whole week of anticipation, ruined.

Bastard neighbours.

Put my bins out at 3:30pm today. Absolute power move! 💪💪💪

bin night, and there's just four bins to put out
bin night, it's what i'm really all about
bin night, it's the only night i like

Green box night here in SE19, which is bottles, cans and plastic. The number of cans I had to scrunch was embarrassing. Tesco just dropped 12 packs of Punk IPA to £13, this isn't going to get any better.

Dibs. Post?

Green bin out tonight for the first time in ages, managed to pack in loads of stuff...... could hardly move it so guess it will be left as too heavy?
