    These wheelie bins leave a lot to be answered for!

    Ours on our access road are always being blown over, bottles/cans/rubbish blowing down the street.

    One neighbour has a streetlight outside his property, and he's resorted to using bungee cords to tie his wheelie bins to that, so that they don't blow over.

    Caught up again so can say Good Afternoon :)

    (((X))) tinyshoes take it easy.

    Post Office jobs done had to wait in long queue only one assistant on. You are lucky if you go in and both windows are manned.

    Then went Mr A's and used my APG from the receipt I wombled the other week from between railings on way to Mr T :T

    Nannylala enjoy your rest with your friend in the caravan :D

    Cherish those you have in your life because you never know when they won't be there anymore.

    No matter how you feel, get up, dress up & never give up.

    But if it's a minute every day, that's a lot of time over a year. Time that could be spent on ones own garden.

    Would nark me if my access was left like that

    Therefore it would have only taken about ten seconds for binmen to put them in correctly. This is a service we pay for its the least you can expect really.

    Proof that they didn't?

    When the bins are empty they are easily moved/blown over by the wind.

    I have a second wheelie bin for general rubbish that appeared about a month ago, next to my own.

    It does have the number of the house painted on it. I could take it back, but equally, after a month, why hasn't the person who's bin it, come looking for it yet?!

    I'm not certain but think maybe Snap wouldn't have posted this if it was a result of wind. Just a theory.

    Besides you sound a little aggrieved, perhaps a direct connection to the refuse dept in some fashion. Again just a theory.

    It was just my opinion Midwinter feel free to ignore it
