Advice from councillors please or any one who can help!
I've got a standard bin, and we've just had a baby, I change on average 60-70 nappies per week, and this is 120-140 every other week, this is filling up my bin considerably, I also have two house rabbits, they are litter trained, and their litter boxes are emptied every day, this is about a half to 3/4's of carrier bag, once all the food dishes are also emptied into it (cabbage stalks carrot ends etc) this is filling up my bin to the point where I have not a lot of space for no recyclable rubbish. i've just rang HBC and ask if I could temporarily have a larger bin. As we are frequenting the tip/landfill quite a bit with bin bags full of non recyclable rubbish. They said only houses with quite a lot of people in get a bigger bin, I explained the above and she said she couldn't help, I have no room for a compost bin, or an appropriate place to put one (they have no bottoms on apparently) and the green bins are not offered to homes without a considerable garden space. I want to recycle my rabbit rubbish, its all fully compostable and I think it will enable me to use my regular bin without having to go to the landfill. She basically said she couldn't help me and I could go to the landfill to put my rabbit litter on the garden waste, but I pay my council tax so is there nothing I can have to enable this? Seems a bit unfair that there is no solution? Please help? :hesoff:

Use terry nappies (or contact Dr Barnardos), and eat the rabbits.

Nappies By Minki
be thankful you haven't got twins, there's something wrong if you're going through 60/70 nappies a week too, i'd take the baby to the doctors if i where you |

he has a good point, why is he having to go and empty his bins at the tip when he pays for a service? if i paid someone to cut my lawn and they only did half i wouldn't be happy.

If you are recycling everything you can then I would ask them to send an inspector round to look at your bin and explain what you are doing wrong. When they see you are doing everything as you should I don't see how they can refuse you and extra bin. Hyndburn don't do the big bins anymore, just the normal size and the small size ones.

Thanks to those who gave serious decent replies. Sometimes you need a little advice and not nasty replies, think about the person on the other end of your comments for once!

They are quite sticky on their rules, Hairylee.
Perhaps you find out if you have a neighbour who doesn't fill there bins every 2 weeks ... NO, don't just do it ASK first. I invite my next door neighbours to do this (either side), and one has a young baby. Was going to suggest to ask for a green bin, but can't put vegetable waste in there such as rabbit left overs, however, there is a new scheme coming into play in March .. think it means you can deposit this type of waste in them, bit ambiguous.. :confused: Recycling - Your Green Bin Other than that, try flat packing the nappies (or similar). Maybe 2 at a time, inside to inside if that makes sense. After that, afraid is a journey to the tip for you. |

.....but even you must admit that the picture of a household producing copious amounts of waste from a baby and two rabbits could, in certain circumstances, cause a bit of a smile...... No? Well I can only say sorry again. |
