Buyers want wheelie bins included.. after discount

I feel your pain OP ! My council doesn't provide wheelie bins either - I had to buy mine from Amazon for £60 but I would probably leave it and hope my new house leaves one for me. Sounds like we are a minority of non wheelie bin providing councils.

Here we have to pay for them separately so I'd be taking my newish clean tidy bins with me

Is this a joke?

who moves and carries the wheel bins along with them.. so unhygenic and bulky

I took my bins, I had two green bins at my old house. I left one and took one as my new property had a new one. Why would I leave a house that had two people moving into with my bins and my family of five had to just survive on one bin until collection day or when ever they would round to providing me with more (which I would have to pay again for and reapply to the scheme to ask for an extra bin 🫠🫠)! Plus I bloody paid for them so they are mine!

It's a bit of an odd one because you pay quite a lot for your bins but the council can take them away if they decide to and not reimburse you. In my experience it is usual to leave them if you move. Though the previous owners of our house didn't and it cost us almost £100 for a complete new set.

I had to buy mine when I moved in so they are actually mine. As I live on a new build estate it’s common for people moving within the state to take their bins after shelling out over £100 for them.

Haunting them is reasonable, taking wheelie bins is weird 😂😂😂

What kind of head case takes wheelie bins with them?!? Im sorry but this is the most mental thing ive read on here. Please tell me its a wind up?
Taking the fucking wheelie bins 😅

My mum is moving next week. As she is staying within the district council area THE COUNCIL HAVE TOLD HER SHE MUST TAKE HER BINS or they will charge her for new ones. All 70s build houses no new builts involved.

You should definitely not take the bins with you... They belong to the property.
When we sold our last hour we cleaned out bins for the new owners and make sure there was no rubbish left! Why would you even consider taking them? Just imagine moving in to your new home and you have no bins!!! Not nice at all !

Oh my. Of course you should leave the bins. Regarding your Nan’s ashes - I assume you wouldn’t leave them behind and are having a laugh?

Do they belong to the council as when we moved to a new build we had to buy them 🙄 so there for they where mind as I paid about £100 for 2

Still left them when we sold up

Yes you can take plants, but with written agreement of the buyer.

No, not all councils supply bins for rubbish and recycling or garden waste. Some place you do have to source and supply your own wheelie bins (and crates if used). This is not the same as paying the council for delivery of a bin at some random point in the future, some places you have to go and find someone, not the council who will sell you a wheelie bin. Most people end up going to amazon, but I’m sure there are other wheelie bin sellers out there.

Sadly you're not allowed to as they are fixtures. But you can definitely take the lightbulbs. We were on the receiving end of that once!

you would of been better adding the detail about the bins in your original op, as usually they are council owned and belong with the property

I’m really confused by this and am wondering if there is some type of wheelie bin that I’m not aware of! If you’re talking about rubbish/recycling bins, these belong to the council, not to you. If you take them the new owners will have to order new ones and might even get charged for them. Are you expecting your new house to have no bins when you move in? Just bizarre.

There are 18 pages of this thread. Most of which are full of posts asking or saying the exact same thing, which the OP and others have proved wrong.

Wheelie bins do not always belong to the council or are supplied by them. In some parts of the UK you buy them yourself and they are your own property.

Don’t the bins belong to the local authority, who use them to take the rubbish yoy generate away.?

I thought that but when we moved into
our current house 7 years ago the general
waste bin was missing and I had to pay about £60 for one. So as far as I’m concerned it’s mine. I wouldn’t be keen on taking bins if I moved though, so it is probably something I’d check..

I don’t understand surely wheelie bins are owned by the council? Clean streets and efficient rubbish removal is what you pay council tax for.

Wheelie bins are allocated to the property by the council, usually left with the house as standard when people move

It is completely normal to leave your wheelie bins!

The only time I had issues with bins, was when I moved into where I am now. The council couldn't decide whether I should have my own bins or bags. My front door opens directly onto a well used pavement. In the end they decided that I should share bins with (I think), 5 other flats.
So if I ever move and waltz off with the bins, I don't think I'd be very popular.
