Wheelie bins, which way round?
Discussion
Wheelie bins then, if you keep yours against a wall or fence, which way round do you put it? Handle against the wall or t’other way round? I’m in the former camp so I can lean the lid against wall rather than fold it back on itself. Granted it is slightly harder to pull out away from the wall if it’s really heavy but my powerfully built PH frame copes. What camp are you in?

Very important question this.
I have mine with the handle facing the wall but about 6 inches away from the wall, that way I can lift the lid and have it resting on the wall.
Is the correct answer. Anything else is just weird. I have mine with the handle facing the wall but about 6 inches away from the wall, that way I can lift the lid and have it resting on the wall.
Our wheelie bins get collected every 2 weeks, so pulling the bin away from the wall to grasp the handle every 2 weeks isn't exactly a chore.

Same.I have mine with the handle facing the wall but about 6 inches away from the wall, that way I can lift the lid and have it resting on the wall.
When I put them out I leave them handle towards the road for easy access for the bin men. I assumed this was 'correct' but noticed that most other people in the road leave them handles in.

Ref handle towards bin men, I expect for the people that leave it the wrong way (handle facing house not road) it would depend on if you are a pusher or a puller of the bin, which is much more controversial!
