Bin Night

your bin should not contain things that should not be in the bin

Thanks for that Lambeth.

As there is a holiday weekend coming...
H&F update:

Your rubbish and recycling bin collection day does not change on or after a bank holiday weekend
[Collection days do change at Christmas and New Year]

I look forward to reports from other boroughs.

Paid for another year of garden waste collections. Emails, form filling, payment, post, changing stickers on bins. So much easier in the olden days when it was included in the basket of services the council provided to everyone.

Binspolsion!

The council added it believed the two workers involved were uninjured.

Like they didn't actually check & confirm this?

The council release is at https://www.barnet.gov.uk/news/refuse-workers-have-narrow-escape-following-explosion-collection-vehicle

The video is incredibly shocking, and we’re relieved that the crew members escaped unharmed.

OK, I need one of those.

Literally had no idea bins were still being collected. Keep it up guys 👍

Ventured outside. Saw two fallen bins. Stay safe.

We seem to be collecting the (bin) waifs and strays on the street today. There were two blowing around outside this morning, so I brought them in. Messaged the street WhatsApp group and reunited one with it's owner, came back home to find two more in the porch.

We're going to be looking after these for a fortnight aren't we?

You might need to order a bigger turkey.

I approve of this level of comms

Just downloaded the 2025 bin rota and attached it to the family calendar 👍👍👍

No no, I'm quite happy not getting out that much thanks.
