To ask about your bins?

[Itsjustthesame]

So, like many areas of the country our bin collections are a bit up the wall at the moment. Where I live many of us don’t have wheelie bins but instead just put out the rubbish on bin day.

I’m feeling strangely self conscious as I’ve noticed that we have about double the sacks of anyone else. On a usual week three or four recycling sacks, maybe two food waste and one or two black sacks. (It’s just me and dh)

Everyone else seems to have one of each! (And these are all three bed homes).

So are we either - very greedy, plastic hoarders, something else? Does everyone usually have just a single bag of refuse at the end of each week?

@DontStandSoCloseToMe that’s a cracking idea! Why hadn’t I thought of that!!

And in fact, until fairly recently - food waste went in the black bin as well.

We get through quite a lot of shower stuff

Have a look a Splosh to cut down on that - I can give you a referral code to get a discount.

Yeah what kind of weird logic is that? Why say no bins, it contains it all, looks better than bags In our case, no bins because there isn't anywhere safe to wheel them to. We'd have to take them 100yds up the road. leaving them anywhere nearer would be hazardous to road and pavement users.

@squeekums - but Rhein is just be awoken by the sound of my rubbish being ripped to shreds by foxes

We have a brown wheely bin for paper, card, tins, foil, plastic and glass. It takes us about 3 weeks to fill up.
We have another brown wheely bin for garden waste. It's full as soon as we cut the grass.
We have a green wheely bin for household and food waste. It takes us 2-3 weeks to fill.
