apparently our great Prime has seven bins and has abandoned plans to tell us all to get seven bins in his battle against climate change. With this kind of assertive action he could get a job in any hotel.

How many bins have you got? we have 3 and a bag hanging off the door handle

    I have 2 bins, but only because the council took away the wrong one and have taken nearly 2 months to do anything nothing about it

    We are supposed to have a black for general, a blue for plastic/packaging recycling, a black box for card and paper and a teenie baby brown bin for food waste. Our neighbors were fly tipping outside our property and their bins were full to the brim with incorrect waste so we reported it. They said they would remove the offending bins and we should leave ours apart from theres so there is “no confusion”.

    There was confusion. I have called them what feels like a billion times.

    And now my shed is full of almost 6 weeks of recycling as I can’t get to the tip as my wife gave birth and now I’m back at work.

    edit: I’m still pissed off so added more info to vent

        It’s so annoying. They’ve stopped even putting the “You can’t sort rubbish right” signs on the bins. Not that our neighbors would give a flying bacon packet.

        I did speak to one guy who said something like “Oh, yeah, we should do something about that like hire a skip or something… Some of it is ours though” Yeah, it’s got your name and address on it. It would be awfully terrible if someone were to be fined for fly tipping now wouldn’t it.
