So I was saying earlier that we didn't take whellie bin out last week as was cardboard week and Dan took it all to skip already ...so in theory bin is empty right?!

WRONG! Its full to the brim - so why didn't he put it out last week?! Arghhhhhhhh

Anyway I'd spent half a bluddy hour flattening all the boxes that furniture had come in and had a huge pile...go out scrape the ice so i don't slip on way to bins...get there..bin full!

Got all these boxes and no where to put them....so now they are all piled up in his gym that he tidied on the weekend Maybe he will sort it seeing as he cant avoid it the minute he opens the door!

hahahah ,,,, our recycling pots , glass and cardboard go out every week and our every day bins go out every 2 weeks but thankfully its the xmas period now so every week they will get emptied woop woop

Tut Tut Tut Lisa, men you just can't rely on them!!

oh thats good!

ours is alternate weeks for recycling and household rubbish...its not too bad unless you forget to take it one week and then have a whole months rubbish in there

You get your cardbaord collected??
They won't take ours and we have to take it to the tip

AND even better, I had 2 boxes in the kitchen empty...a weetabix and a fishfingers box...so I went and flattened them in his gym...so now he has crumbs on the floor too

PMSL I am evil

we have just 2 bins 1 for all recycling apart from glass which we have a box for those go out every 2 weeks but our every day rubbish gets emptied every week x

We're under the same borough as Suzi, our day to day waste goes into a green bin which (in theory when it's not snowing/icy/wrong kind of leaf on the road) get emptied every week and our blue bin is for recycling which gets taken fortnightly. As we live in a maisonette we don't get a glass recycling box/container but the new block over the way gets a purple bin for the glass so hubby sneaks over there and "does his bit for the environment" he got shouted at by a random and his reply was I aint bloody walking all the way to the social club to recycle my glass pmsl. The lid on that one is locked but there's a flappy thing to post the glass through x

Our black bin gets collected every fortnight and our green bin every fortnight.
Our recyling box gets collected every week. One week we put out 2 recylcing boxes and they only took one. Called council and they said they can only take one black box per household each week For about 4 weeks now we have had abag of jars (washed and clean ) left in our box
I have given up and put it in our black bin x
I wish they would take cardboard would be easier than queueing for over an hour at the tio each month!

We have 3 bins all collected at different times every Monday!
The black or green is general wubbish, the lovely blue one is recycle, the baby shit brown one is food/garden waste.
If they see a carrier bag in the recycle bin they won't take it they dont bang the brown ones enough and I currently have some mouldy potatoes and bread fermenting in the bottom as its to cold to go out and scrub them out! If any of the lids are slightly ajar they won't take them!
The council are pushing for fortnightly collection but we are currently winning that battle

hehe, love it! Let's hope that the fishfinger box is also a bit smelly!
