thats the way to do it LOL :D

Except that the person whose bin was stolen may well have had to fork out for a new one. :(

only if its their second replacement willow;)
ya get it free if you need a replacement, but the second time ya have to pay:(

I have thought of 2 points here,

1. The bins are tagged so they will know who you stole one off. I am not sure if it can really be classed as stealing anyway. Maybe more like inappropriate use of Council property ;)

2. I would never agree to pay for a wheelie bin unless I had incorrectly used it. It is not my bin it belongs to Hyndburn Borough Council. I use it as they instructed, out by 7am or the night before and back in on collection day. If someone want's to steal HBC's bin while I am following HBC's instructions then how can it be my fault?

Re: wheelie bins

are they tagged???? where is it, what is it for?

Re: wheelie bins

I'm suprised that no-one in Hyndburn has come up with the idea of a neighbourhood rubbish offset scheme, similar to the carbon offset schemes which now appear to be everywhere.

All you do is find a neighbour who not a bone idler, who does not waste time and money buying tons of packaged thrash from Asda and is prepared to accept all your rubbish in his/her otherwise empty wheelie bin, and in return you pay 'em dosh - say ten quid a week.

The solution is simple when you know how.

Yes they are. It is to stop thieves.

No problem. If anyone asks what happened to your bin chip, just say the Gypo's nicked it.

Re: wheelie bins

It's a pity the paper sacks aren't tagged. We never get ours back. I'm fed up of having to keep going to the town hall for a new one.
