    Councils decided that people should have wheelie bins, so I think they should replace them if they go missing. Let's face it some people live in dodgy areas so what are they supposed to do.
    So why should people living in not so "dodgy areas" have to pay. Councils don't supply anything for free, we all have to pay.

    I feel everyone should have their bin replaced for free if it gets stolen, not just people in dodgy areas.

    True we all pay for everything that the council spends but that's life.

    my local council dont provide any bins to anyone! and if you want a wheelie bin we all have to pay £40, so if i were you id probably be jumping at the chance
    Even a stopped clock tells the right time twice a day, and for once I'm inclined to believe Withnail is right. We are indeed drifting into the arena of the unwell.
