on my wheely bin it says its the property of the council, so how can i be responsible for it? any one can just walk off with it.

It's ludicrous that you have to pay for another. They expect you to leave the things outside so that they can be emptied and not everyone is at home to bring them in immediately they are empty so if someone walks off with it how are you supposed to be able to prevent that? Someone somewhere will be filling two bins with rubbish whilst the council refuses to take yours because it's not in a wheelie bin!

I reckon they send people round from the council to nick wheelie bins.

From what is said on here they need all the money they can get...

Hmm maybe it's a ploy, nick em and then sell em back to us!

Way back in the 60s some friends of ours had a farm up on the Coppice. Very recognisable, you'll probably know the one.

At one time they bought some gravel to cover the farmyard etc (better than walking on mud, helps with the drinage and all that) and then we had a very severe storm, and I mean very.

The rain pelted down and rivers flowed from the Coppice down Avenue Parade, Water Street, Sultan Street, Lodge Street, etc. bringing all the gravel with them.

It finally lodged itself outside the Town Hall from where the council out of the goodness of its heart gathered it all up and sold it back to them!

ring the council and report it stolen

the bins are embeded with a barcode and are scanned when emptied so theyt know whos bin is whos

if it has been stolen and used by somone else the will pick it up but only if they know to look for it because its stolen

They are recorded with a hand held device. Happened to see it done last week when ours was delivered. Anyone know the name of those gizmos ? Seem to be the same that are used in some car parks.

If one is stolen you get a free one but if a second one goes missing you have to pay £50.
