Wheelie Bins

Abyss · 3 Oct 2009 at 11:18

I have looked on google however can't seem to find the answer, so wonder if anyone might know?

Where I live it is difficult to store my 3 wheelie bins anywhere other than on the very wide pavements just outside the boundary of the property. Is there any rule/law against doing it? The only alternative I have is to move both cars off the drive every time and wheel them into the garden (the driveway is very narrow).

my council will fine you if the wheelie bins are not on your property ( collection day exempt)

demise?

Storing it outside your property is probably technically not legal but unless your neighbours have a problem with it I doubt it will really matter much either way. Obviously you should be keeping them as much out of the way as possible to minimise inconvenience to others.

Also because I'm not sure in the context what is "the demise of the property"?

The demise is the limits of the property. Yes - some councils will fine you for leaving your bin on the pavement.

Thanks. Edited for clarity. Demise is the limits of the property, I'm too used to working with planners and builders!

Fascinating, thank you both for letting me know. I'm surprised I'd never heard the term in that context before.

I've never heard of it in that context and dictionary.com doesnt seem to have it referenced either!
One of those industry things i guess

As said many councils fine for leaving it on the pavement. Is it really that hard moving 2 cars twice a week/fortnight. to get them in and out.

One of my customers lives in a victorian town house with a flight of steps leading up to his front door. He only has two bins but has had an ongoing war with his council for years because he leaves them on the pavement outside. Last I heard they were taking him to court but this guy has no option other than to leave them where they are.
Surely somewhere along the line commonsense has to prevail ?

If his street is anything like mine, then yes. Yes it would be that hard.

Our wheelie bins would be stolen before nightfall if we left them out on the pavement.

Thanks everyone for your response, they are now living down the end of the drive. It is a pain moving two cars every week on your own and I don't like starting then stopping a turbocharged car twice in the space of a minute, however it appears to be the only option.

If you get enough helium balloons, you could attach these to the wheelie bins, then you should be able to float the bins over the cars.

That is all!

I didn't know about 'demise' either! This thread has wheelie bin educational.

Hitman_Leon · 10 Oct 2009 at 13:06

Oh you have to move your cars to get your bins out :eek:

THREE wheelie bins?

Three isn't unusual for some councils, one for waste and two for recycling.

We don’t have wheelie bins but the council provides different containers for food waste, bottles/paper, garden waste and plastics.
