Buyers want wheelie bins included.. after discount

[Sellthishousetorhosecunts]

Our lovely FTB 🙄have requested wheelie bins be included after generous discount… many unreasonable requests met!

AIBU to leave dead nan ashes under the floorboards & take the wheel bins as a summer plunge pool for the kids 🫣

Wheelie bins in my borough aren't provided by the Council, you have to buy them privately. I think I might have even bought ours on Amazon. Not just for new builds, all properties. Council only provides recycling boxes and food bins.

I don't know if I'd bother to take them if I moved, good excuse to buy shiny new ones.

Leave the bins. If you paid for the stick-on numbers then you can peel them off and keep them until you occupy a house with a number whose digits partially match. Pro tip: You can use a 6 upside down as a 9.

Lightbulbs and loo seat on the packing list!

Huh?! I'm with everyone else, this has to be a joke. Who tf takes the wheelie bins when they move house?! Deffo the property of the council. Diff councils have different colours and sizes etc, there's no way hampshire would accept surrey wheelie bins for example. One of them has recycling in green bins, the other in blue. With garden waste in brown vs green bins respectively.

Were you honestly going to take the wheelie bins with you op?

Wtf - who pays money for bins and leaves them to greedy buyers!? I would rather ship them off to moody Doris 3 doors down than leave them full of our shit by donating the time, effort and money it took me to order them. Then Doris can tell them I thought they was cheeky fuckers and enjoy not composing her sour grapes

They probably didn’t know wheelie bins get left behind with the property.

We had to buy ours as sandwell council refused to provide them. Took them when we moved. Make fabulous dry storage bins. Cost a fortune and wasn’t leaving them!
Was a decade ago and still going strong.

You pay round our way. £50 per bin or £25 for the little compost bin. Still wouldn’t take them with me though.

Don’t forget to dig up the plants either.

I'd take my brown bin if we moved somewhere else locally as I bought that (and pay a collection charge) I'd leave my waste/food/recycling though!

At least one post has mentioned that...You've obviously missed that.

In the areas where councils don't provide bins - either paid for in council taxes or for separate fee - are people just allowed to use any bin? How does the waste collection happen - here it is one person driving a truck that picks up the bins and empties them so all the bins have to have the same lid design.

What happens if you move into an area that has different colour bins 🤷🏻‍♀️?
Seems petty to take them.

This is a non-issue. You agree to leave the wheelie bins.

A seller was upset our friends ( the buyers) didn’t want their old furniture so they hid a fish under the floorboards.!
Took weeks before they found the source of the smell….

If you paid for the bins they are not a fixed item so take them but if they are supplied by the council ( ours are ) then leave them. Personally I’d find out if your new house will have bins, if it does then do you need loads of bins all over the place.

Our new neighbour brought her wheelie bins with her - all 3 of them (2 rubbish 1 recycling)!!

First rubbish collection day she put them out together with the ones that were already with the house thinking she could get more rubbish collected but the refuse collectors refused to empty them because they were a different colour as she moved from a different part of the country. She didn't half moan when she had to empty the stinky contents of the bins she brought with her and put them into the 'proper bins'. 🤣🤣

I'm sure this thread explains why someone had shat into the compost caddy left at my new house...
Something to consider OP!

My rubbish, recycling & food bins are provided by the council.

I have to pay an annual subscription for my garden waste bin so I cancelled that.
I'm assuming they took the green bin away after I moved out.

You sound like a nasty piece of work. I hope they pull out on day of exchange.

Would serve you right

We are moving house next week and I hadn't even thought to ask about the bins. I'd assume they'd be left. We are certainly not taking ours with us.

We left the wheelie bins and wouldn't have dreamed of taking them, our seller left the wheelie bins and I would have been very surprised had they taken them. Maybe it's different in different areas. I am really surprised the buyer even asked as I would have assumed they would be left.

Wtf - who pays money for bins and leaves them to greedy buyers!?

its greedy to want wheelie bins? 🤦‍♀️ God this is why the moving house process can be so hard, no self awareness!

It’s pretty standard to leave wheelie bins. I actually thought that technically the council owns them so not even yours to take.

But you sound very petty…

This. You sound very bitter. If the buyers are that greedy and awful find some new ones.
