Going away for school holidays & nobody to do the bins?

[gardenhenn]

We are taking DC away for a significant amount of time during the 6 weeks holidays and will have nobody to do the bins.

Have asked my parents as they live 25 minutes away but have said it's too far and they also workZ

Siblings/cousins also work and have their own kids to look after and would be unfair as again live 25 minutes away in the same town as parents.

Now, I have never had an argument or falling out with neighbours.

But there is tension due to the varying issues around this estate and I don't speak to my NDN on the right ( I would do her bins at times but she has stopped saying hello/speaking to everyone which suits me fine as she makes me feel uncomfortable).

I do exchange small talk/ hello with the other and get on OK but form feel comfortable asking her.

We genuinely don't know what to do.
Anybody been in a similar situation?

The only solution would be to leave the bins until we get back?

Put the bins out before you go, ask the neighbour you do say hello to. Seriously no one is going to mind wheeling a bin back up the driveway, it will take all of 2 minutes.

Without meaning to be rude, we’ve not had our recycling collected in over a year and a half thanks to a well publicised dispute. Actual waste collections also didn’t occur for months on end. You’ll be fine :)

Don’t you have any friends nearby that can help out? It would only take a couple of minutes.

if it’s general waste or recycling it can just wait until you get back.

Have we lost the ability to problem solve nowadays?! Just take everything to your local tip/recycling centre the day before you leave for your trip.

Go to the tip? All this faffing!
