Dp and I were talking to the LL's the other day and they have requested that we not take any bin bags down to the communial bin area except on the days that the bins are taken ie; only take them down Mon evening/Tues morning when the bins are collected on Tuesday. This is to avoid the bags hanging around outside in the heat, which I understand is unpleasant.
The trouble is, we have nowhere else to put them! I really don't want to keep the bins inside the house as it gets really hot inside during the day and I have no desire to have stinky bin bags with old food in sit inside the house on hot days for up to a week at a time and we will end up getting flies etc inside our place. We can't leave the bags outside (eg, in the garden) as animals will rip them open.
Surely the whole point of having an outside area to store the bin bags is having somewhere to store them before the bin men come? What is the point of having it if we are not allowed to use it? I'm happy to double bag the bags and not overfill them to try and minimise the amount of mess that gets into the bin area but wibu to not agree to keep bins inside the house for a week in the summer?
