Wheelie bin - where to buy?

Not necessarily.
Glasgow council have used wheelie bins for a while, and they were supplied to residents at the outset, but now, for new properties, or if the original supplied bin is "lost", only council tenants are automatically supplied with a "general refuse" bin. Others now have to purchase a bin from the council at a cost of something like £37.
Garden waste bins and recycling bins are supplied free on request.
Each house will therefore have up to 4 bins, finding a place to keep them all is now the main problem!

The big point here is as I stated

The 1st thing to do is to find out FOR SURE what your local council policy is on how they collect refuse, and FROM WHAT

because UNTIL the policy is KNOWN FOR SURE any answer given here is pointless

Nick one late at night when bin day comes around, that seems fairly standard practice. :D;)
I have a spare 1, the council left 2 at 1 house in the road, no one claimed it so..................
I justify keeping by the fact that I fill it with anything not specifically recycle-able or land fill.
Strap the lid down, in the car, and off to the tip to dump it myself.
We had a phase when they supplied blue boxes for bottles and paper, didn't last long, and they never collected them, most took their's to the dump eventually, I kept mine and several others, very handy, good strong tubs.

:(So you advocate yourself what you attack as an illegal activity by others eh;)

Theft by finding is STILL theft, theft of the property of others is not something that should be taken lightly, even if said light heartedly, or if you use it responsibly:eek:

As above - check with your council. My council will only collect their official bins, and control the numbers of bins people have. They'll provide recyclable bins (glass / paper / garden) free of charge, but will charge for an additional landfill bin, and only after you have completed a log proving you need it.

Put out your own bin that you've bought elsewhere and they'll just ignore it.

I just checked and you can buy them online. Ebay has some and amazon always have everything. Failing that you could get a big storage bin for outside and then just use bags.

Light hearted it was, but true, advocate?, no, you are too sensible to believe I meant that,

The rest?, true, an anecdote.

Waste not want not.

So where were you dishonest, when you stole the bin or posted lies on the forum?
