Holiday home and bin collection

10 replies

storminabuttercup · 27/12/2024 08:27

We've been in a holiday cottage since Saturday due to go home tomorrow
When we arrived the bin was half full, it's now full, normal household stuff, pizza boxes, stuff you can't recycle, recycling isn't full but maybe half way
Out of interest I looked when the household bin will be collected and it's not until the 8th, I feel bad but can't do much about it as need a permit for the tip
Recycling is collected on the 3rd, I'm going to pop to the supermarket with some bottles etc now
Any holiday let owners know if i should be doing anything more? Or am i over thinking it? Everything is securely bagged up in strong bin bags.

Is it your / a family holiday home or one you’ve rented? If rented, not your problem, that’s for the owner to deal with (& they should have a better system than relying on usual waste collection - you should never have to be faced with someone else’s rubbish in a commercial holiday let).

If it’s a family holiday home that’s a bit different; we used to have to take our rubbish with us if we weren’t lucky enough to go over a collection date.

To be clear it's the outside/dustbin that's half full no rubbish inside

Not your problem x

Most holiday homes don't use the council bin collection - they have to contract with a private commercial service that comes and does the bins which will be on a different day and time than the council. Absolutely not your issue - just follow any instructions you've been left by the holiday let service and you're fine.

Definitely NOT your problem.

Holiday home owner here - not your problem!

Maybe let the owners know if they are (😱) not local?

They are very local, also pretty sure when they came to check the hot tub were in like a pick up so can presumably use the local tip
