Hi all,
I know there are bigger things going on in the world right now but I'm looking for a wee bit of advice!
Our bins are emptied on a three weekly cycle, we are a larger family of 6 and we recycle everything so we have always managed the bin cycle no problems with just an extra run to the tip come Christmas with extra cardboard and paper. The kids are well aware of how to recycle so all good.
As we are all at home a lot more obviously we have extra rubbish but still I am able to put bins On kerbside with lids fully closed as requested by the council no issues there. Every bin day for the 'general waste' black bin for the past two months someone is coming along and dumping huge black bags on the top of our bin leaving the lid lying open. Our local authority are very strict on not taking extra bin lids being closed over and to be honest right now why should they have to touch others waste.
How do I stop this? I am risking being left with my bin for a further 3 weeks and then we obviously would not manage and our tips aren't open yet (Scotland). Last time I actually waited till late on and put them out about half hour before lorry came, went back inside and made a coffee then on coming back into front room looked and low and behold someone's rubbish on bin, it's not about someone adding, because if I had space it wouldn't be an issue but why should I risk being under pressure of having bins left unemptied because of someone else's rubbish.
I don't want to start a pissing row with my neighbours but how would you stop this?
Thank you
