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 🫣

I do remember passing a house on my way to work many years back that had one with "Property of Bradford City Council" printed on it always sat out by the front door.
I didn't live in Bradford 😂

This has got to be a piss take, no one take a wheelie bin with them.

2chocolateoranges · 16/05/2024 23:27

Do people take their wheelie bins with them when they move? How bizarre

I would not dream of taking my wheelie bins.

I wouldn't either.

I recently sold a house. In amongst the long list of things that had to be done, sent by the buyer's solicitor, it was specified that I had to leave the bins. (I was doing that anyway.)

Are you sure you can take them with you ? We pay our council too for the bin but it still isn't ours to take - more like a fee to use it.

I see what you mean but my council don't do wheelie bins at all. People have to buy their own so every house has different ones, not like in some areas where the council give them out for free and have the logo on. So to me, a wheelie bin is something very useful I've paid for which is why I compared it to garden furniture.

Copperoliverbear · 16/05/2024 23:27

I think this must be a joke.

Superstoria · 16/05/2024 23:27

I have bought and sold many properties over the decades and I have never ever encountered or heard of anyone taking their wheelie bin with them! So YABU.

Spidey66 · 16/05/2024 23:27

It wouldn't occur to take the bins. I assumed they belonged to the council. Most have the name of the council on them. We're moving soon, why would we want bins with our current council name and logo when we're going to one a couple of hundred miles away?

PinkSunsetSky · 16/05/2024 23:26

I’ve never heard of this 😆
I’ve moved multiple times and would never dream of taking a scabby wheely bin.
You just “ inherit “ the wheely bins left for you by previous owners.

WearyAuldWumman · 16/05/2024 23:23

Ah. Didn't know that.

In my area, your council tax pays for them.

Was your £50 a one off fee when you purchased a new house maybe? I can see why they would make charge but most people would I think assume that when they move the next house will already have bins so leave them behind, it’s a fee for having them emptied really.

We pay to have our garden waste removed by the council, £40 per year, but that doesn’t give us ownership of the bin.

Needmorelego · 16/05/2024 23:26

Surely wheelie bins are the perfect way to meet the neighbours.
"Hi...just moved in next door. I see there's a blue bin and a green bin. Can you tell me what goes in what please and what day is collection. Thanks"
And then thanks to your new gossip of a neighbour you will have all the details of who is the street binfluencer, who never takes theirs in and who sneaks around at 4am to put their rubbish in other people's bins.....

This is a wind up??

Wheelieusefulbinlover · 16/05/2024 23:19

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

Ah. Didn't know that.

CountingCrones · 16/05/2024 23:22

You can’t take the wheelie bins, you lunatic! They are a council resource, you leave them with the house.

Magnastorm · 16/05/2024 23:22

Who the fuck takes wheelie bins with them when they move?

Probably the same weirdos who pay to get them cleaned, I guess.

Don't the wheelie bins belong to the council?

Anyone else starting to wonder about the FTB extravagant demands? They didn’t have the temerity to ask for the walls and roof too did they?

Aye, grabbing bastards, bet they expect OP to leave the lawn and driveway down as well.

Of course you should leave your wheelie bins @Sellthishousetorhosecunts !!! 😆 You are not seriously taking them with you?!!!
