What time is ok to chuck your glass bottles in the recycling on a weekend?

Let’s pretend you have half a dozen or so glass bottles. You are the kind of person who chucks them in the bin with force, one by one, so they clink together really loudly.

It’s Saturday/Sunday morning. You live in a terraced house.

What time is it acceptable to start the chucking?

No reason to do it until after 10am really.

There's someone on my street who brings their wheelie bins back into their garden in the early hours, usually around 1:30am. Terraced street and the sound really echoes around when it's otherwise quiet.

This is usually me Blush i forget its still out there I do try to be quiet though!

Maybe 10am?
It’s rare we have anything glass, it’s mainly plastic bottles or cartons here and we put out at tea time once done.

I'd say 9 am but our binmen collect on Saturday at 7am, noisiest day of the week!

Any time after 9am is fine for reasonable 'living life' outdoor noise in my opinion. Anything particularly noisy is best saved until after 10am.

Threads on here always amaze me because by the time you put many of the trends together you get a garden use/noise policy that's something like:
don't use your garden before 10.30/11.30/12pm on the weekend, because people want a lie in. Don't do the gardening or allow children to play on a nice afternoon because a mumsnetter might hear the presence of humans through her kitchen window. Don't do anything late afternoon and definitely don't socialise in the garden because it ruins a mumsnetters right to read their book in peace. Don't socialise in your garden because that's antisocial. Children should be simultaneously in their garden (because the street or communal grassed area isn't for them) and in the local park (because they shouldn't be playing any games that make a sound in a garden). Garden tools are also a noise nuisance,but houses should always look neat. Now people are working from home, the weekend rules apply 7 days a week.

Half a dozen bottles is 6 sounds if you do them individually. And if you do them together then maybe 5 seconds of noise.
Wouldn't worry me whatever time as it would only be a minor disturbance.

HarebrightCedarmoon · 06/06/2021 19:30

I'd have put them in the same evening I used them. And quietly. Why would you throw the bottles in with force and risk breaking them?

HarebrightCedarmoon · 06/06/2021 19:33

I have lived in several terraces and I can't say it's a noise I've ever noticed. I could hear neighbours running up and down stairs when their door and hall was next to ours, and their TV just about our house was quiet, but that's it.

BigSandyBalls2015 · 06/06/2021 19:33

I place mine in very gently as I don’t want my neighbours thinking I’m a wino ...

Ivy48 · 06/06/2021 19:47

Anytime after say 9am, I understand lie ins etc but my life isn’t stopping because you want a sleep. We have noise hours for a reason

Pissoi · 06/06/2021 19:47

I'd gauge this by the time I let me children out into the garden to play at weekends, so any time after 9am on a Saturday and after 10 on a Sunday would be fine with me.

AlwaysLatte · 06/06/2021 19:49

No one can hear ours so we put them in any time, but if we had someone nearby we'd do it after 9am. I always put our bins out for the dustcart the afternoon beforehand so no need for an early clatter!

AlwaysLatte · 06/06/2021 19:51

I have a routine anyway, emptying the house recycling is something I do straight after the school run. So it's usually around 9.15 am. Weekends - later!

PopAyetheSailorMam · 06/06/2021 19:59

Not at 5 am onwards as you depart your holiday cottage on a Sunday. Leave them inside for the front door for the cleaner to move at a suitable time. Literally inconsiderate tossers.
