Rubbish

Hi all, new to this so forgive me if I'm doing it wrong, been clearing out my house and have got a issue, I've thrown away so much that my bin is rammed full, I will hold my hands up and admit I don't recycle much like my copies of the Sun and my magazines are all in the rubbish and when cuddly toys are in the way they to go in the rubbish. Anyway my wheelie bin is choka and I've two more bags to put in, the lid isn't even shut now, the top waste is cuddly toys so they should squash but they will not! Anybody got any suggestions for what I can do, I can't go to the tip as I have a one year old and I have nobody to look after her.

Thank you

Bloody recycle, this makes my blood boil, there is no excuse for this. You are the reason our planet is fucked.

You came here not for judgement but I'm afraid there is such thing as right and wrong and wilfully ignoring simple recycling solutions is just WRONG.

Go through your shit and recycle like everyone else does.

Last idea from me, probably. Go proper old-school and burn the rubbish at the bottom of your garden. This was the standard thing to do before bin collections became a thing, so you can be satisfied with yourself that you are getting back to a simpler way of living.

Your copies of the Sun will help get the fire started, then any old children's toys etc should keep it burning nicely. Just try to pick a day when the wind will blow the fumes away from your property.

Don’t buy the Sun 🤷‍♀️

@TeddyIsaHe

Well clearly you do recycle as this attempt at froth has been done plenty of times before.

Grin to this thread, but actually dumping in public bins is possibly less risky but nothing like as nasty as doing it to your neighbors. If you get caught with a public bin at least you won't be the street pariah!

We wait until all our neighbours bins are out on the road and put in our extra bin bag (usually into opposite who’d an old man and lives alone)

My neighbors pull this crap on me too because I'm disabled so another easy target. Obviously they're happy to use me and leave me cleaning up their stinking bin soup, but don't think I'm worth speaking to.

My particularly shitty NDN (single mumma - many bubz- so soooo much rubbish- and no time for all that recycling malarkey) behaviors caused me to ask her not to, then have to get a lock, and I dumped six weeks worth of her mixed recycling/leaking rubbish right back on her doorstep. (my bleach bill and the outrage was scary but so worth it! Grin)

She didn't learn and then got caught on (other) neighbors CCTV doing it to an elderly lady across the road. She's now being done by the council for fly tipping and her “poor kiddies are gonna have nothing for Christmas and have to go food bank coz of you lot!”

Why not leave in the bags for a couple of weeks (assuming cleared out stuff, not stinky old food), and put it out in the next pickup?

It was in your home a moment ago, it can stay a couple more weeks surely?

This can't be real ??
" I've rammed a lot of stuff in the wrong bin what should I do ???

Take it out and put to one side until your recycling box arrives

Find another bin ...at work or in the street /behind a restaurant etc to use

Why are you getting rid of cuddly toys when you have some year old? Maybe missing the point I admit.

Anordinarymum · 30/09/2020 17:36

Well this is fun isn't it :)

Why doesn't she wrap the cuddly toys in the Sun.

Always here to help

Use The Sun as toilet paper (it's all it's good for).
Wash the soft toys and donate to charity/refuge/Facebook/Freecycle
Stop buying so much landfill stuff.
Start re-cycling.
Take your child to the tip.
