Neighbour.

I recently had to access her shed. She has wall to wall storage boxes. Very neat. Very organised.

Except they are all free recycling boxes from the council. We all get one red one blue and one food caddy. She has about 10 of each.

I asked her and she said "oh you just to the collection point and the give you more". She's been to ALL the collection points and collected a set from each Shock

She's even using the food caddys to store dry pet food. She had no shame at all about it.

I can't work out if it's the councils own fault for not keeping any records of who collects or her fault for clearly stealing Hmm so she can have lovely neat stackable storage!

It's recycling boxes. Not the Crown Jewels. I'd stay out of it.

I agree with this sentence. There will be plenty of people in the Borough that are not interested in having boxes or people that can't be arsed to collect them I'm sure. Our council had a fad of giving away sink top compost boxes a few years ago. Some people went crazy for them, others weren't interested. I guess it all evens out.
If the council was concerned they would have issued them on the condition that I D was brought on collection and their name was ticked off once they received the box.
