Then they glare at you smuggly, when yours is still out there one hour later, because you are still at work! 3 1 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stuff in the general refuse is all bagged, so doesn't leak noxious substances, and the recycling bin is all dry waste (card/bottles/washed cans) so dosen't NEED washing!

Provided you don't do it every week, there will be lots of confusion! I came home a short while ago and I did notice that several doors down, they did have the wrong bin out. The alternative, I suppose, if you don't know is to put them all out and let the truck driver take what is appropriate for the morning! 4 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Reorte Posted March 7 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 7 Always left the bins out (at my old place, it's all rather moot where I live now) neatly, always came back to find the bin men had left them scattered half way over the road. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium TheQ Posted March 7 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 7 Regularly see all bins put out at several houses on our road, there are only about 20 houses over the 2 miles of road. Ours are by the road in their cubby hole , so the bin men just choose they one they want. I often have to put the bin back though. With the current wind direction any smell would arrive in Birmingham soon. 2 1 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
