You could start a bin-spotting movement.

At *Dons UT voice* My House!

heh

Make sure they're not overflowing/incorrectly filled. You can be fined quite a lot of money/get a criminal record. Well if you believe the papers you can anyway...

Oh and don't loose them, the local councils charge you for replacements... do where I am anyhow, next-door neighbour stole mine and council wanted to charge me for replacements....

….. we erm don’t speak anymore, she’s a right old moo anyhow. I did get my bins back, I stole them back the next week, and wrote my door number all over them, like being back at school, when you used to make your pencils and coats with your name.

Pathetic really, but there you go..!!

Although, how do you steal something that is rightfully yours?????? lol stupid..

 

[milkinc13]

for us black is general rubbish & green is recyclables

 

[A.N.Other]

In the tub: glass, and tins, some carton bottles the plastic cardboardy ones.

In the green bin: garden trimmings.

Blackbin: general household waste.

Same here, though paper and plastics also go in the tub.

lmao no.

but i'm considering firing up the incinerator used for garden rubbish, and burning the lot.

Police, Many?

i dont talk to any of my neighbours. lol.

If they dont carry shot guns and chainsaws or wear hockey masks and carry large knives where is the harm.

Example,

I come from so and so or whatever and we have different colour bins there to what you have here, what do you put in what colour bins you have here as I dont fancy getting fined for the wrong stuff?

Easy.

Top tip most older people are only too happy to help out just for the converstion, thats not knocking old folks it just seems to be the way where I live.

Call the neighbours or watch them put their rubbish out if you are stuck.

council website will tell you everything
@ this thread!

Best advice on the thread - what goes where has changed for us several times, so the information on the bins is out of date, as is the information on the orange/black sacks they sometimes give out if the collection is due to be delayed.

In our area (from memory
Green - garden waste, but no food, soil, stones, wood or branches over about an inch diameter (so basically grass clippings and dead flowers, heaven help you if you throw a potted plant away without getting rid of the soil).

Orange
Most plastics (but not things like yogurt pots)
Paper - but not shredded
Card - but not corrugated over A4 size
No jiffy bags

Black - everything else except
electrical
batteries
whatever the council has got upset about this week

[Mat]

I have:

Brown bin - compostables (garden / kitchen food watse)
Blue bin - non compostable recyclables (plastics, paper etc.)
Black bin - non recyclables

Kerbside boxes / tubs are for people who live in poor council areas


Oh, and OP - ask your neighbours.

Bin stalker , or they might think you have a rubbish fetish, lmao.

 

[james.miller]

different counsels have different coloured bins and scheduals. its best just to phone them and ask them

 

[BigglesPiP]

Roadkill goes in the tub, hair and nail clippings go in the green bin, and everything else goes in the black bin.
