Bin Possession.....

[Jasandjules]

Are your neighbours as possessive as ours?!

I committed the awful crime of taking the bin that was at the end of my drive and putting it in my garden. Neighbour has just come to ask for her bin back............. TO me a black wheelie bin is a black wheelie bin and whatever one is at the end of the driveway is the one I drag back.. But apparently this is not acceptable and we must stick to our own bins.

Is it just me who is so nonchalant about my bin?

You just want my nice clean bin that I jetwash out. Wash your own bin you tea leaf!

Over here the wheelie bins have an RFID tag so they can bill your account for the amount of rubbish weighed by the lorry as it's emptied.

Not sure if that applies in the UK though...

Nope! Included in our council taxes, when they can be arsed turning up.

Have you been looking into his bin?

I have my house number ( in small numbers) on the front facing of my black bin - but still my neighbours sometimes want to have it instead of their own. I regularly disinfect and clean mine whereas theirs is quite a tatty and often smelly bin.

OP, you are the weird one

Hope that helps.

It would appear I am indeed the odd one out and must consider the council bin MINE and will defend it to the death in future. I will also spray paint my house number on it to make sure no-one touches it!

Just to be sure...

Make the wife sit in it.

But then the bin men will run away and never empty it.

I have my house number in big colourful (garden gnome pictures type thingy, found on Amazon) stickers on mine. A man with a van jet washes it all clean before I get home which is worth every penny, I'm not paying him to clean the neighbours bin.

We don't have wheelie bins - we have plastic crates for recyclables. These have to be ordered from the council (although they are free).
I'm fed up with neighbours who can't be bothered to pick up the phone and order them nicking mine, so I've had to put house numbers on them.

Our bin has Tweeti Pie on it ! DO NOT PINCH TWEEDY !

Our small block of flats' bin has our property no. painted* on it (sad I know). Central Smoke though. Occasionally to be found on the other side of the road although the refuse peeps are very considerate and return everyone's bin from where they collected it.
