yeah but if you put a black binliner full of waste food etc next to your wheelie bin they will empty the wheelie bin and leave the black bag for the rats and cats to play with

the only difference between the rubbish in the wheelie bin and the rubbish next to it is that 1 black bag is not in the wheelie bin but the rest are

the whole thing seems very petty on the councils part i even offered ro buy my own second wheelie bin and they said the would also refuse to empty that as well

i dont know what area you live in but my area has become a lot dirtier since wheelie bins came to be because the council leave peoples bags on the back alleys and the wind blows it all overthe street front which means they have to come and clean it up

seems to be much simpler and cheaper to take all the rubbish no natter what its in

no wonder our council tax bill is so high because they have to do the same job twice

just my 2 cents

I live in an area where I need to "drop" the wheelie down two steep steps, then run along to the end of the back street and park it with numberous other wheelie's, not thinking about the person that can't get his car out the garage cause all the wheelies are lined up in front of his garage, but I do as others with the black bags that won't fit in to my wheelie. Lift all the lids on the others and place any extra "black bags" in their wheelie's. The wheelies are scheduled to be on parade by 7:30AM HBC instruction, they are not emptied until near lunch time, and I must add all rubbish is removed and the wheelies lined up so neat it's a picture to see.Then anything up to 8pm at night you can hear people taking their wheelies back home, to rest until the next collection
I rest my Wheelie
