I must admit that i'm quite lucky that my bin goes right outside my back gate, & the alleyway is quite wide so i don't have the problems that some people face. Also, because i live alone my bin only really needs emptying once a month. I do put it out every fortnight though.
1. Because i'm paying for a service.
2. My nieghbours have children & might run out of space in their own bins for all the rubbish, so they can put it in mine.
As for putting it out by 7:30am, I don't finish work until 3:30am, so mine goes out as soon as i get home. Neveer realised how lucky i am until now.
