Re: Stolen Wheelie bin - replacement not available!
Well whaddya know!
Today was wheelie bin day again. Last night Emzie went out the back street and what did she spy half way down there? OUR WHEELIE BIN - complete with stick on numbers still stuck on!
Busman went down to investigate and it was there next to a bin which was overfull and the top not closing and yet our bin just had one bag in the bottom of it. So logic tells me that it had not been taken by the people whose bin it was next to or else they would have put their excess rubbish in it instead of leaving their own bin unshuttable.
Anyway he brought it back up here and today we put our two black bags full of rubbish in it and it has been emptied - the minute the bin wagon went I was out there like a shot and brought it back in again.
Have phoned the council and told them we no longer need a replacement to which I was told that's good because there aren't any. She also told me to paint the number on because stick on numbers can be removed. Painted numbers can be painted out too. There's a house which has two bins and one bin has two numbers on it. Yet this week they don't have that bin they have an entirely different bin. Numbers, painted or stuck on don't make a ha'porth of difference round here. It's just a case of get out there and grab it back as quick as you can. Not good for people who are working though is it?
