Yes but there is an element of common sense involved. You can throw your leftover sprouts away from your Sunday lunch, but you're damned if you put any leaves in your bin!

But again, that probably isn't the council imposing those rules ultimately.
Same around here - they won't take it if its even open the smallest crack. IMO you have the draw the line somewhere.
EDIT: They are a bit more pro-active dealing with problem neighbours here tho - tho that might have been due to it being easy to tie to a local business that was dumping it in people bins.

Not sure if serious with grammar.
As long as I'm paying my council tax, yes, actually it is their problem.
Presumably you likely could be fined though for leaving full bins out for two weeks, while not properly covered.
You've also got to remember that most people follow the rules, because nobody wants bags of stinking rubbish back in their house or on their garden. So essentially the rules work.
That's why if you have more rubbish, you either have to dispose of it yourself, or if your rubbish yield is to much, you need to speak to the council about the level of waste you have per number of people living at the address.
The OP was of course unlucky because he was following the rules and somebody used his bins.

WOW Nice binmen/council. Ours will even come back the next day specially if they have missed your bin.
Why won't they take the bin if it is slightly open? That's just full retard
Training the sheep to conform to silly pointless rules, if I were a binman I'd take them regardless but then I'd probably get sacked or something for doing my job properly.
as if the lid has to be fully closed. seriously.. they come once every 2 weeks now and expect you to have no rubbish? they dont even provide proper recycling services the whole thing is a joke.
id be looking into complaining to someone as thats abit of a silly rule.. our council takes rubish even outside of the bins providing its in a bag

The real question you should be asking is why the hell won't the lazy council take your rubbish if the bin lid is open?
I like the fact we don't have to use these bins where I live. We just put the empty bin bags out on the street meaning there is no cap on the amount. Most neighbours tend to make helpful piles every few houses or so to save time for the bin collection guys. Simples. No drama.
