why dont people take them in, i live in a terraced house so you have to wheel them out on bin days, but why do people leave them on the pavements all week, i thought you could not block the pavements with anything or is it again no ones bothered, theres my sunday moan out the way
Just kick them into the middle of the road.
They'll soon find owners.
Can't say fairer than that!
cant do that they are still full,they empty them every other week
Ah, well they shouldn't be out until shortly before collection then.
Councils have strict rules on that (as with everything else)....so you can ring em and complain.
thats a job to do monday morning, thanks Graham, i am turning into a right grumpy git, notice i left the old out
I was amazed to discover that our office wheely bins were microchipped....
I always leave mine neatly just level with the end of my drive, but the binmen always dump it back halfway down the street...pillocks.
what sort of office has wheely binsOriginally Posted by lastlid
Any....ours did. Small office. Same in our new office.
Actually, now I think of it, where I worked in Aberdeen a couple of years ago, we had a couple of the larger wheely bins outside the building I worked in. And that company is one of the biggest in the world - so nothing to do with company size.
Probably because they are commercial and have to pay extra.
Some councils have introduced them for home-owners too.
Yes. Thats the reason. And I gather some councils have indeed introduced microchipped bins too, for home owners.
We don't have wheelie bins. We're just given a bunch of black sacks every few months.
Same up in Middlesbrough...not that that's a great comfort to you I'm sure.
I went up to Middlesbrough when I was a teenager and was planning to stop there for a few days. I left in the afternoon!
Wise man.
After dark...riskeee.
we have 2 wheelie bins per household, each one having a separate caddy for recycling paper and plastic bottles, each bin and caddy is emptied on alternate weeks. i didnt choose to have 4 bins so as far as i am concerned it stays in the street and definitely not on my property as i dont own them.
Most councils will charge you about fifty quid if you lose one...that's why I look after mine (2, one Black, one Green for the garden stuff).
Wheelie Bins seem to be ubiquitous in the UK these days ... UNFORTUNATELY! Oh, they're fine - if you are living on the level! But, when your house is situated at the top of a flight of steps, they aren't so handy.Even LESS so when you're an OAP; bloody nuisance, tbh.
Don't know about your particular locality, Steve ... but where I stay, they are now only emptied fortnightly.
Aye ... we used to have those too- many moons ago - for placing in a lidded, black plastic, wire-mesh *container (*from which they were uplifted weekly - by the binmen themselves) - much more convenient, imo!
Those awful wheelie bins definitely lower the tone of any neighbourhood.
It looks as if we've all been relegated to council housing..heavens forbid!
These can be a real life saver when it comes to trash....
I hate wheelie bins. What annoys me most is that property developers rarely create a place for them, so you have a nice new terrace of houses with 2 bins outside each front door.
In answer to the original question - the bins are left either because the owners are lazy or infirm. Of course the neighbours of the infirm could help...
So the infirm manage to put a full bin out, but can't drag an empty one back in ?
I help my neighbours by putting their bin back on their drive after the bin men have left it right in the middle of mine...so I can't get my blinkin car out.
