I'm sure the council retains ownership of the bin, thus it cannot be sold by any party other than the council?
This needs a like button!
Nope they don't supply them anymore for free. My set cost me £70, if I moved they would be going with me unless the new owner specified them or bought them.
Your council is tosh then. Mine supplies them free. Recently had a replacement for free too after they broke the lid off when tipping.
