Bin Night

I suspect, unfortunately, you are correct.

guys

last week i put the grey (general) and brown (organic waste) bins out as i'd seen them out a few streets over.

well.

come thursday (bin day) evening, all our street's bins had been emptied and most taken back in. but our brown was still out and uncollected.

i thought nothing of it until this week, when i see everyone's put their greens and - you guessed it - browns out! i've only gone and assumed the wrong bins based on what was going on on a different street!

as you'd expect, i've asked an estate agent to come round first thing tomorrow for a valuation and i have booked the first flight to vladivostok on monday morning.

it's been a pleasure binning with you this summer. god bless.

My green bin got switched with next door's one of smaller size on Tuesday. Much hand wringing until I got my girlfriend to switch them this morning.
Phew!

The really funny thing is that their bin has their house number on it!

It's all going off ^ & ^^^.

I was responsible for putting 2 x neighbours bin out tonight. Used it as a good opportunity to introduce 7yo into the joy of Bin night. Once she got the balance point sussed the bin she was responsible for (ours) was moved without any other assistance. #prouddadmoment

Bin Night here in Teignmouth is pretty boring, Recycling bins picked up every week by 07:00, Black Bin every other week by 08:00. No having to walk up and down the street to find all my bins, everything is taken no rubbish left in the street. No neighbours using my bin.

for the second week in a row my upstairs neighbour hasn't put any general waste out for collection. only food and general recycling. what on earth is going on up there?

im not being funny but your neigbours are probably serial killers or running intensive weed frams in their lofts

A bad week in the bins. Someone had left a pedal bin liner full of rotting food in the green bin. I removed it: maggots underneath it, enough to fill a bait tray. The stench.

Filled the green bin on Sunday and put it out. Heard the bin men coming on Monday (I think, but now I start to doubt my very basic sanity), and only now I see it is back in the driveway but not emptied.

Who moved it back? Why is it still full?

Garden waste collection is a £70 annual extra round our way. We've got a bin but no licence - put it out today and they've only gone and collected it. Walking on sunshine for the rest of the day.

My food bin is full of fluffy orange mould.

Probably food for mouldivores.

Just come back from holiday in Weymouth where to my eternal shame I put the wrong recycling in the bin, glass goes in a separate box.
A stiffly worded note from another flat stuck on the door saw me rooting through the bin to move our bottles, burning with Social Embarrassment. I was a Pariah

It's this type of Community Shaming our Country needs, I will never make that mistake again.

Later I Donkey stoned the front step and warned my daughter about underage pregnancy.

Big bins today. Since moving in over a year ago I have been taking the bins out for my neighbour when put mine out. Today my neighbour had taken out the bins. 2020 is a wild ride.

Whats all this about then ?

Yep, I can clearly see plastic wrappers - the lazy fucks. Get a passive aggressive note on there stat!

Tears 😢

Garden waste collection is a £70 annual extra.

I don’t get the reasoning for that. AKAIK councils aren’t giving discounts for only filling 1/3 or 1/2 of your waste bin, so those who do are still subsidising those who routinely fill theirs to the brim. What’s it matter then if the bin is partly filled with leaves or with packed full of fast food wrappers?

Also, as a workaround for conscientious objection reasons, could one pay for a garden bin then allow their neighbours to use it, so it’s full year round?

that's no picnic. what does your bluey hold? ours is plastic and glass and tins so we sometimes skip a turn, even though it's a three weekly pickup.

yeah I know!

I don’t get the reasoning for that.

Councils are broke. They can and will charge for anything they are allowed to to try and close some of that gap. As long as it isn't politically awkward it doesn't need to make sense.

Ours is was Paper.

Brown bin is our equivalent to your blue, likewise we skip the odd collection as it is a slow filler.
