Our black sacks, garden/food waste in a brown bin and paper/plastic/glass recycling are collected on Thursdays. I put it out when I get home from practice Wednesday evening and it's gone by about 11:00.


Large items are by arrangement.

With the shenanigans of the last few weeks, I'm going to try to crush my cans and bottles and rip up my cardboard and try to get it all into household waste. There's only two of us, so should be possible. 'A bit of how's yer father' recycling.

You dirty bastard.      Think of the little children!

Now I'm being accused of being a dirty bastard with little children

Ours really is simple. Alternate Mondays = Green Recycling Bin and Brown Garden Waste bin. Alternate other Mondays = Grey General Bin. Food bin is emptied EVERY week on a Monday so goes out alongside whatever bin is due that week. We have a Binzone App that tells you what bin is due, just in case you forget.
I put out the bins for my 91 year old neighbour and he has next to no rubbish, which means over the busy Christmas period I can put any overflow from my bin in to his.

Indeed anyone with an ounce of common sense can cope with bin collections, simples 👍 Our council tried to change days etc but dropped the idea , our waste collection guys do a really good job.

I think DG was referring to the fact that you have 3 different bin days in one week, or 3 different bin days every fortnight.

Been exactly the same system for the last 38 years , so I think I'm kinda used to it, brown bin for garden rubbish started about 12 years ago for £50 a year and is brilliant no trips to the tip anymore.

Ours started 10 years ago and cost £45, just had my reminder and it's £76 this year. 

That's still only £1.46 a time though, so still cheaper than going to the tip which is about 10 miles away.

Have you never heard of a garden bonfire? You can then paint your green bin whatever colour the general waste bin is and put two out.
No need to thank me.

Talking of Wheelie Bins, my neighbours are having their whole driveway re-done so I said that they could park both of their cars on my driveway as I have the space and they can both come and go as they please without interfering with us. I also suggested putting their wheelie bins on our side of the fence so that they can just lean over the fence to put their rubbish in their own bins.
Anyway, the second evening that she parked down our driveway I heard a scraping noise as she parked. She had hit her own bins and pinned them against our house wall.    I didn't go out in case I embarrassed her but luckily no damage to anything.
