Tuesday for us!

Been jumped on twice but I fear I have got as much as I can in it.

The recycling bin isn't until Monday 8th and that is almost full too.

2 weeks tomorrow and it’s full, we’re only every 3 weeks for each bin so am regularly using a private company to empty them 😤

Moved from today to Thursday. Normal bin is fairly low, recycling quite full.

As we overslept the food waste collection last week we are glad that we have two bins as one is already full since Christmas Day.

Hummusanddipdip · 28/12/2023 18:11

Recycling was emptied yesterday, somehow, we've already filled it again 🫣 household waste is next Wednesday, that is also full... we've taken some rubbish to parents to put in their bins 🤣🤣 not sure how we've achieved this when we've done no food shopping for almost 3 weeks 🤣

Landfill bin and recycling boxes today, garden waste bin next Wednesday plus recycling bins again.

SisterMichaelsHabit · 28/12/2023 18:12

No idea, we just copy the neighbours! 🤣
I never know if it's rubbish or recycling week until we see the other bins on the road.

DRS1970 · 28/12/2023 18:13

Our recycling was today, and land fill is Saturday.

lemonyellows · 28/12/2023 18:15

We went to the tip today to avoid any issues.

EffortlessDelegation · 28/12/2023 18:15

Saturday for recycling (should be Monday) so Ok there, it's fairly full but we haven't squashed it down. Regular waste went last Sat (again early as it should have been Mon) so that's only got 1 bin bag plus some wrapping paper in and should last till the next collection on the 8th.

ANightmareBeforeChristmas · 28/12/2023 18:15

Both wheelie bin and recycling are going tomorrow. All emptier than usual as we were away for Christmas.

stayathomer · 28/12/2023 18:16

Recycling tomorrow and bin full have two small white bags full as well. Bin day makes me way too happy!!!

FizzyStream · 28/12/2023 18:16

Our recycling ones were emptied today luckily because the paper / cardboard one was chocka.
Black bin (general waste) was emptied on 21st and so not due for emptying again until next Thursday.

InAMess2023 · 28/12/2023 18:17

Next week... because idiot here got the weeks mixed up last week and put the recycling out by accident! Four weeks worth of rubbish over Christmas is not a prospect i look forward to finding a home for!

crew2022 · 28/12/2023 18:19

Ours were fine yesterday and will be done again next Wednesday. It's one thing our council are good at, refuse. Very efficient and the refuse collectors are helpful and take things even if not in the right bag or bin.

CraftyGin · 28/12/2023 18:19

We have five days until our recycling bin is emptied. The lid is not closing now.

I am going to go through it and remove all the glass to put in our old recycling boxes, and if necessary some plastics too. I do this every year.

PeppermintParty · 28/12/2023 18:23

Was due to be collected on 25th, but obviously they weren't working on Christmas day. According to the council website, it would be picked up on 27th. It's still on the pavement waiting to be collected.

hiredandsqueak · 28/12/2023 18:26

Recycling was collected today, it was chock a block. Other bin is collected a week today is about two thirds full so will likely be full by next week as in a normal week it's usually only a third full.

Waitingfordoggo · 28/12/2023 18:30

Household waste collection not until 9th Jan as it was collected shortly before Xmas and the collection will have rolled on three days by then because of the three bank holidays. It’s less than half full at the moment but will be pretty full by then I expect.

Recycling is going on Tuesday. We have three recycling bins and one is extra large so we’re ok for space for that.

TheFormidableMrsC · 28/12/2023 18:33

Mine is tomorrow for general rubbish. I've got 3 sacks that wouldn't fit so will have to go to the tip. Recycling bins are full but won't be collected for another week.

JulesJules · 28/12/2023 18:37

Our bin day is Tuesday and it's been put back to Saturday. This week is recyc and our bin is full to busting with more to go out.

H talking about sneaking some recyc into neighbours bins...might have to remind him of the time he thought (wrongly) that a certain neighbour's builders had dumped a load of stuff in our bin. H put it all back in their bin and neighbour came round to confront him after seeing him on his video doorbell...

Iheartmysmart · 28/12/2023 18:40

In a development of flats here. We should have had a collection on Monday but now won’t be until next Tuesday. All the bins are full as are the recycling containers. Rubbish is being piled up in the bin store so now it’s all over the car park as it’s been blowing a gale. I’ve got a bag of recycling and a full kitchen bin bag to go out but there’s nowhere to put them!

All overtime stopped as council bankrupt and all bin days changed. Info only available online. Not everyone is online.

We should be tomorrow but are next Wednesday. Recycling also tomorrow except now it's 2 more weeks. Normal bin full.

It's going to be an interesting couple of weeks.

Same this end!! Should have been today but it is now next tuesday due to overtime cuts. Recycling is full. Think I can get one more bin bag in!!

Nibblynobbly · 28/12/2023 18:40

They picked it up on Tuesday which is usual thankfully. We didn't think they'd be round so dh nearly injured himself trying to run up the steps with it.

Topseyt123 · 28/12/2023 18:41

No collections at all here this week. They are back to work next week.

Our recycling is due to be collected next Thursday. I have two big wheelie bins full of it plus some large, squashed cardboard boxes which will have to be wedged in between them. Can't wait. There will probably be some loose clear or white bags beside them by then too.

SnowsFalling · 28/12/2023 18:42

Went yesterday. Loads of space in it.
The extra bag of recycling I put out got taken too.

FussyPud · 28/12/2023 18:44

Ours went yesterday and was just about fine. It was only one day later than usual.
