Weds bin day and I’m glad no 17 are on the ball. I can never remember which one has to go out. I’ve seen carnage when they go on holiday.
Some people put all their bins out, green brown black food caddy knowing they can’t be wrong .
Anyone else get a bit lost when the ones in the know aren’t about

I have a simple method - I am able to store both bins together but the one that needs to go out that week I keep nearest the road, so when that has been emptied I return it to the bin place but swap them over so the other one is nearest the road -

I got myself a wife for these exact troubles. They come in handy with such things.

Ours get collected alternately once a week, so an individual bin every fortnight. Given my memory by the Thursday struggles to differentiate between the Monday and Tuesday that week, 'twas always going to be fruitless endeavour trying to remember!

 


Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!!

Our council hand out a bin collection calendar every January which I promptly lost.

I find it quite easy to know which bins have to go out as one will be full and the other empty

What a wierd thread you started here cryrst. However, it achieved it's objective and caught my attention.

My system is similar to Dubai's, in that I move the newly emptied bin(s) to the end of the row nearest the water butt.

 


Dad and I watched games standing on the muddy slope of the Holmesdale Road end. He cheered and I rattled.

So you would forget eventually without this method
Btw weird threads seem to be the only ones in which
we don’t argue about Bollox

Everyone except the guy over the road (A Latvian), has different bins to me. However, although mine are slightly more expensive, they take them all at once - every two weeks. A bummer if you miss them, particularly the food one. After a month it's mainly a bin of maggots. I sometimes hear the bin men wretching in the morning when it happens. Not a pleasant sight.

As we’re neighbours I was going to ask you to put mine out, but I’d better ask mrs Nicholas91
