I have posted this before I think. There are 2 reason why they want the lid shut.

1. The lid can be damaged and rubbish can fall out of the bin onto the men below if they lift it with the lid open.

2. They are trying to force you to use your recycle bins by limiting how much you can fit in the non-recycle bin. If there was no restriction many people would make no attempt to recycle at all.

I am with Chav on this one though, the rubbish should be sorted by HBC not by us. Most of us do not have houses designed to assist with recycling. We dont have the space either outside or in our kitchens for several bins. I refused to use the blue box because I will not put sharp tins in it where my small children could get at it, the provided lids do nothing to aid safety. I also refuse to wash the tins out, they are sharp so go straight in my tin bin. Also why should I waste my water washing them?
