Buyers want wheelie bins included.. after discount

Our lovely FTB 🙄have requested wheelie bins be included after generous discount… many unreasonable requests met!

AIBU to leave dead nan ashes under the floorboards & take the wheel bins as a summer plunge pool for the kids 🫣

A seller was upset our friends ( the buyers) didn’t want their old furniture so they hid a fish under the floorboards.!
Took weeks before they found the source of the smell….

If you paid for the bins they are not a fixed item so take them but if they are supplied by the council ( ours are ) then leave them. Personally I’d find out if your new house will have bins, if it does then do you need loads of bins all over the place.

This is a non-issue. You agree to leave the wheelie bins.

What happens if you move into an area that has different colour bins 🤷🏻‍♀️?
Seems petty to take them.

In the areas where councils don't provide bins - either paid for in council taxes or for separate fee - are people just allowed to use any bin? How does the waste collection happen - here it is one person driving a truck that picks up the bins and empties them so all the bins have to have the same lid design.

I’m loving that taking my wheelie bin is unreasonable but popping a teaspoon of nans ashes underneath the floorboards to haunt the tight fuckers hasn’t picked up on…

At least one post has mentioned that...You've obviously missed that.

I'd take my brown bin if we moved somewhere else locally as I bought that (and pay a collection charge) I'd leave my waste/food/recycling though!

Lightbulbs and loo seat on the packing list!

Don’t forget to dig up the plants either.

No one takes wheelie bins with them when they move. If you move and worse case the new property doesn’t have them. You order them from the council website.

You pay round our way. £50 per bin or £25 for the little compost bin. Still wouldn’t take them with me though.

Alphabet1spaghetti2 · 17/05/2024 00:10

We had to buy ours as sandwell council refused to provide them. Took them when we moved. Make fabulous dry storage bins. Cost a fortune and wasn’t leaving them!
Was a decade ago and still going strong.

StormingNorman · 17/05/2024 00:09

They probably didn’t know wheelie bins get left behind with the property.

Wtf - who pays money for bins and leaves them to greedy buyers!? I would rather ship them off to moody Doris 3 doors down than leave them full of our shit by donating the time, effort and money it took me to order them. Then Doris can tell them I thought they was cheeky fuckers and enjoy not composing her sour grapes

Were you honestly going to take the wheelie bins with you op?

Smidge001 · 16/05/2024 23:49

Huh?! I'm with everyone else, this has to be a joke. Who tf takes the wheelie bins when they move house?! Deffo the property of the council. Diff councils have different colours and sizes etc, there's no way hampshire would accept surrey wheelie bins for example. One of them has recycling in green bins, the other in blue. With garden waste in brown vs green bins respectively.

Leave the bins. If you paid for the stick-on numbers then you can peel them off and keep them until you occupy a house with a number whose digits partially match. Pro tip: You can use a 6 upside down as a 9.

DogfordCats · 16/05/2024 23:46

Wheelie bins in my borough aren't provided by the Council, you have to buy them privately. I think I might have even bought ours on Amazon. Not just for new builds, all properties. Council only provides recycling boxes and food bins.

I don't know if I'd bother to take them if I moved, good excuse to buy shiny new ones.

The only people who pay for wheely bins here are people who buy new builds , but then you buy your bins and they belong to that house.
If you move , you leave them .
Who would take bins , what if you took your three wheely bins ( we have three here ) and got to your next house and then you would have 6 😆.
Love a good bin chat 😆

Four bins in my area: landfill, plastics, paper and brown (for garden waste).

Wonkypictureframe · 16/05/2024 23:37

I can well imagine the waste people refusing to empty a wheelie bin not from their area too. And I wouldn’t blame them.

What were the other unreasonable requests?

Not every council provides wheelie bins for free. Mine doesn't, we had to order ours for £50 each! I paid for them, they're mine to take with me like my garden furniture

Same here (garden waste bin only) and it allegedly has a microchip in it, when you purchase it you are told you will have to take it with you if you move to a new house in this council area.
