To think Everyone knows what a Green Wheely Bin is for, even builders from a different town?!

[PandaCorn]

Everyone knows what the green bin is for, right?!
Four bins, all different colours. OH says that it's not obvious if you're from a different town, I know that the colours vary but surely green is the same everywhere?!

We're having work done and today I found a load of broken glass in our green bin.
AIBU to think they've just been completely lazy and thoughtless and that it's not on at all? OH doesn't seem at all bothered and just made excuses for them.
I doubt he will be sorting through a mixture of rotting food and broken glass...

Our green bin is for general waste. Brown for garden waste, grey for recycling. Have no idea how it is in other towns.

Nope green bin here is general waste but we have relatives whose green bin is for paper and card

Not everywhere. Our recycling used to be black and the regular waste was green. Last year they swopped them over as the green was bigger than the black and most people now have more recycling than rubbish. Still lazy lf the builders though. They should have checked.

Mils green bin is for anything the brown is for green things

Our green bin is for normal rubbish.
Recycling is black/grey.
(Not sure what bright spark at the council thought that one up, but we are stuck with it)

Perhaps the builder is from here.

Green bin is paper and card here, but was garden waste last place I lived. Compost has been brown most places I have lived so far...

Are there standard colours for them?

In my area we only have 1 bin and that's brown.
So I have no idea what your green bin is for.

My green bin is for glass!

We have 4 bins and none of them are green

We don't have green bins and if I had to guess I'd say garden waste?

Our green bin is for recycling (having moved from somewhere the green bin is for..green stuff, I find this baffling!)

No green bin here. Where my mother lives, the green bin is for paper.

Green for recycling
Grey for general waste
Brown for garden

Broken glass should go in the general waste bin according to our council website.

Our green bin is for plastics and glass. At our old house (different council area) it was for general waste.

Our green bin is for garden waste, this is surely the most logical?!

Green is a general waste bin here, still, find it odd after nearly 7 years.

our green bin is for general rubbish - , but down the road that would be a black bin, and the green one for garden waste.

Oh ok, I stand corrected!
It just makes sense to me that it should be for green things... like grass/garden stuff.

Though with four bins it must fairly obvious that they're for different purposes and sensible to take a peek inside at all the food waste before lobbing glass in.

What is your green bin for? Because mine if for general waste but my relatives in the very next town (1 mile away!) is for paper and cardboard as they are in different council area. In fact all their bins are very different to my bins. So YABU yo day the builder should know. But they should have checked with you b

Green for garden, grey for general waste, brown for paper, blue for glass and plastic. Obvs.

My brown one is for green things, my green one for landfill, my blue one for recycling. Plus food waste bin.

Our council won’t collect from wheelie bins. Smaller round bins only.

So I’d have no idea.

My green is for plastics and cans

Green bin is for cycling here. Brown for garden waste and black for general waste.

Here our bin green lid is for recycling, black for general waste and brown for garden waste.
