I can't understand why the council won't empty the bins if the lid is slightly open. I know it was mentioned in a previous post about the rubbish falling on the binmen, but every time i see our binmen they push the wheelie bin to the back of the waggon, step to one side, then press a button. I can't be anything to do with the weight either, i.e. a bin half full of one type of waste could be heavier than one full to the top with another. If this is the excuse, the bin wagons are pretty lame.
