In Greenwich we're too posh to put the bins out, we leave that sort of things to the little oiks who run around the dustcart lugging large bins from our gardens. Never put them back though :-( ... Everything collected Monday
Different story in Bexley, my Mum has one bin for papers/cardboard, one for plastics (milk bottles etc), one for non recyclable household rubbish & one for garden waste which she has to pay for but she doesn't have one for glass ???? Recyclables collected each week, household & garden waste alternate weeks. I go & put them out each tuesday evening for wednesday collection. My mums front garden is full of bushes, lawn & flowers so get a fair amount of "wildlife". lost count of the times I've picked up the smaller recycle bins & find I'm squashing a slug or snail against the handle or go back indoors & find a bloody fat spider attached to part of my body.
I live in a block of flats, with a shared bin room. Having 3 kids and a dog means I have to take a bag down every day or so. Unfortunately local street drinkers/crackheads have worked out a way to break into the binroom to do their thing. We even had a fella living in there for three months, he had a nice little set up going on in the corner! The police have done nothing about it, so I regularly have to turf groups of them out when I go down there. The other day I opened the door to be confronted by a geezer pissing down the drain in the centre of the room! Unbelievable. I was lost for words!
We don't have to put them out, but have to take them back - apart from every time the crew changes, in which case nothing gets picked up and i have to spend 6 weeks complaining to Bromley council.
I live in a block of maisonettes and there are real politics about putting the bins back. I'll take what i can carry, but only do one trip and never do the food waste bin as it is disgusting, full of maggots and i don't use it. This means it stays on the street, with the other 2 or 3 remaining bins, until the one person that does use it goes up the back to deposit his peelings, works out it's not there and storms down the drive to get it while shaking his head. Still only takes the food bin back though, leaves the rest.
No one else seems to bother despite there being loads of people in and out during the day.
I actually can't believe there is a thread on here where i managed to get that rant out. Catharsis.
Bin juice is the devils water though, got some on my brand new desert boots this morning.
This thread has done little to dissuade me that the average Brit is more concerned about their bin collection than their own health or wellbeing. Having heard and been party to conversations with the public complaining about missed bins/moving to twice monthly collections (3 weekly coming soon folks), etc. I am convinced people would rather hand over a limb or perhaps their first born child rather than have their bins messed with.

So.......let’s get this right.....he got his knob out and it was in your bin room. It don’t get much better than that! Great post YTS.....double whammy!

It’s well documented that weekly bin collections in Bromley and Chislehurst were first mentioned in The Magna Carta. Collection rights were give to a peasant family who resided in a small hamlet nearby at that time known as Mottham.
Had a couple of ferals move in upstairs with a young kid. What a pleasure it is stepping over used nappies because they put the bags out the night before, purely because they are too fucking lazy to work and sleep all day...
At least give the fucking foxes a challenge and change your habits you pikey brain doners!!!!
People who put their rubbish out for collection the night before are brave souls.
I put my black bags out the night before once and left home the next morning to find the foxes had enjoyed themselves - Because of that I always put them out on a Thursday morning these days
Thursday morning.
No urban foxes in these parts - just rural ones, occasionally chased about by toffs on nags....
My collection day is Tuesday so I put the bin (not bags) out Tuesday morning. I have a fortnightly collection, one week its the black bin for general rubbish and the next week it is the green bin for garden waste & cardboard.
On the week the green bin gets emptied I also have a small green box that can go out for paper, tins, foil etc.
We put our bins out on Thursday nights but my good neighbour puts our bins and the neighbours bids away straight after the bin men have emptied them. If I have bin day off I tidy his bins away. I know this sounds a tad over the top but besides keeping the gardens neat and tidy looking it doesn't advertise the fact that we are not at home.

Even Karl Robinson doesn't spout as much rubbish as what I'm reading on this site now.
Bins out and BBQing are the last bastions of blokiness we've been left with. Don't give it up without a fight!
I reckon I'm top bin man on here (unless anyone is actually a bin man).
We have 6 and I look after my next door neighbours and she has 7. 13 bins in total !!
Nothing better than picking up a tub to carry down the drive and a load of rainwater from 3 days ago runs down your top and trousers.
