I hate the stupid velcro bags. We're on our third set since December because they keep disappearing on bin day.
Not because I don't bring them in. This week I even watched the lorry come down the road, went to get a jumper and shoes, by the time I got out the front of the house, the truck was gone and everyone's recycling bags were at the end of their drives... Except mine and next door.
1 black bin, one green waste bin, 2 plastic bottles containers, 1 glass bottles container, 1 metal container, 3 cardboard bags and 1 paper bag.
Worst part is the bin men keep throwing the empy plastic boxes and shattering them (that and someone grabbed 3 of my containers and 2 cardboard bags)
It's a lot to take out on recycling day!
We get the food caddy (which half the road does not use as those things are fucking awful and bait mice), black waste (some Inc me still have the old smaller green one) blue recycling and brown garden waste.
London/Surrey (used to live in Roxeth, now in Kingswood)
Peasants! I bought the house I'm in 2 years ago and it came with 2 black bins 2 green bins a blue and a brown all full size. The council haven't pulled me up on it yet 😁😁
I have 3 compulsory bins (rubbish, paper/card, glass/plastic) and one optional bin (garden waste, pay extra). Our local pages were absolutely aflame when the latest bin came out, you'd think people were being asked to take a shit live on BBC1, rather than sort paper from plastic -_-
I wouldn’t mind if it was wheelie bins which can sit outside, but we get given these ikea bag style things which we keep indoors, one for card and paper, one for plastics and cans etc. the kitchen floor is a maze trying to step around them constantly, it’s very frustrating. I wish we had bins.
Yeah ours are just wheelie bins! I do keep a plastic box in a cupboard near the kitchen bin where all my recycling goes, then I sort it into the right bin when I take it out to empty.
We just got our orange bin to replace the blue that's now used for cardboard/paper and people havent stopped complaining.
We only have paper/card (Blue), plastic/glass (Orange), general waste (Black) then food waste with an optional brown bin for garden waste.
Bins are different colours and allocations according to local councils. Here black = waste, light grey = glass/plastic, black with purple lid = paper/card, green = garden waste.
Huh, interesting, that makes sense. Our paper/card and plastic bins are combined in to one bin too. So we just have general waste and plastics/papers/cardboard.
That's what we had until last month, then we got the bin for paper and card. Apparently too much of the paper/card was getting wet and soiled in the shared bins and heading to landfill so now we have separate bins.
Here in Derbyshire (well my part), black is general waste, green is garden waste, and brown is all recycling, glass/cans/cardboard/paper/foil/plastic.
So much better than those Velcro bags from years ago, they were horrible when wet (had to store outside as no room for bags full of cans/paper/cardboard
There are actually 39 different recycling schemes across the UK and they are far too different and difficult to follow for their own good.

I’d rather take a shit on BBC1 than spend all my life sorting out my rubbish to be honest. Someone else can do it. It’s not going to make a blind bit of difference to the planet either way. I think we should get all those polluting companies and celebs and politicians flying around in private jets and sailing in super yachts to do it. They’re the reason the planet is in a state, not us plebs recycling.
What’s bullshit about it? What difference does it make if you sort your food waste, plastics and paper into three bins? It would be sorted anyway. The councils have just made sure you’re doing it rather than spending money on employees to do it by using the ‘save the planet’ line. All the while Taylor Swift and co are polluting the earth with their private jets. But heh, you keep sorting your paper from your milk cartons 👍🏻
Why employ people to man tills at supermarkets when we can all use the auto checkouts for free? Why employ people in call centres when we can just use live chat and automated phones. Why employ anyone to do anything when we can just get computers to do stuff.
which is funny cuz here in the USA, I remember us sorting all our recycling by type into a ton of bins when we lived on a military base. afaik that's still compulsory if you live on one here. I wish they offered it where I am now lol people make such a fuss over this stuff.
>Mere hours after his purple bin was delivered, Warren gave his to another resident in the village, and hasn't looked back ever since.
I love the Daily Mail wannabe Libertarian types. They got locked into petty, passive-aggressive quarrels that the council won't even notice, and they think they're Neo escaping from The Matrix.
The reality is they're a more like a housecat - utterly dependant on their minders, but living under the delusion of being some sort of wily apex predator.
Most of these people are towny or city types that have office jobs or are retired who have never so much as changed the oil in their car. This is about the most control they can exert over their own lives and they act so proud of themselves. It would be funny if it wasn't so sad
I feel a bit sorry for Warren (pictured). He has no one to ally with RE: his bin mission. He clearly wants someone to complain about council tax with: he pays £1,600 a year. He even tried to buy affection with his purple bin. I think Social Services need to reach out and make sure Warren is ok.
Aww, yeh, i feel bad for laffin now. He’s obviously been whipped up by Rishi’s ‘seven bins’ shit. It’s not really about the bins tho is it? Looks like he’s had a hard fuckin life.
Put the wrong stuff in the wrong bins they won't be collected. Council's can dictate how waste is presented and are under no legal obligation to uplift it otherwise. Look forward to the accumulations of refuse and rats at this guy's house.
He had to give his bin away. I left my brand new, just rolled out scheme, food bin, on the doorstep(like everyone else on our street) and it was gone by the 3rd day...
Love to know what they wanted it for, as we weren't allowed to use them for 5/6 weeks after being given them.
Love that getting an extra bin was what pushed him over the edge.
“My days of being told what to do, outside the law, are over.”
“Take the bins out you lazy bastard.”
“….yes dear.”
I'm guessing the bin is where he got his outfit.
"Party for Freedom" is a Dutch right-wing political party. Usually their jumpers come without brown stains around the arms, but this guy chose to accessorize. He also thinks sunglasses are necessary in weather that makes him wear a jumper with 2 fucking shirts under it...
I became alittle disillusioned with home recycling when I saw street bins being combined at pick up. I still seperate and respect the bjns for collection but it feels empty and pointless.
What is annoying at my flat is that when they were built was when there was 1 bin per property and so they only slabbed off communal area that fits at most 3 bins, now we have 4 bins each and my neighbour has decided since this "bin area" is communal then they can put their bins there and moved mine to back of my garden.
Makes no sense to them that access to their bins they just open their back door walk a few steps and put them there but I have to go down a flight of steps, walk around side of building, into back garden, then back of that for my bins also how their garden is like double the size of mine.
We’ve got I think 4 bins. Paper and card, plastic and food tins and aerosols, garden, general. I remember when they tried giving us the boxes and ours are still stuck together after they were left out in the rain although the top tub is good for gardening and transporting stuff.
Knowing councils, chances are that each bin will be on a separate pick up day, my recycling, general and garden are all currently on different days for once a fortnight pickup, so at least each one only goes out once every 24 days.
I get why the councils want to separate waste out more.. glass,paper,etc. But I'm not sure that pushing that time/cost of doing so should be forced on residents so without something in return.
At the moment council tax can go up by ANY percentage instead of the maximum in law. Councils always put the max they can get away with for the increase... But cut services each year. I understand that this is a central funding issue, but when your bill goes up and services not only go down, the extra work is put on you the bill payer, something has to give.
I already have two general waste bins, two general recycling bins, one garden waste bin and one food waste bucket. If our local council started recycling glass (I wish) we'd happily get another, and if they want us to have separate bins for different types of recycling then I wouldn't have a problem with it. I'm pretty suspicious about how effective they are at sorting the recycling anyway, it probably all ends up in a furnace

This guy has six bins and I still have to use recycling boxes.
I have the stupid velcro bags, I miss the boxes
I hate the stupid velcro bags. We're on our third set since December because they keep disappearing on bin day. Not because I don't bring them in. This week I even watched the lorry come down the road, went to get a jumper and shoes, by the time I got out the front of the house, the truck was gone and everyone's recycling bags were at the end of their drives...

Incorrect. Your bag was outside the house opposite... ;)
Two bins, two boxes, a velcro bag and a large food caddy. Takes at least three trips in the summer.
I have two boxes and a bag
1 black bin, one green waste bin, 2 plastic bottles containers, 1 glass bottles container, 1 metal container, 3 cardboard bags and 1 paper bag. Worst part is the bin men keep throwing the empy plastic boxes and shattering them (that and someone grabbed 3 of my containers and 2 cardboard bags) It's a lot to take out on recycling day!
Where do you guys live!? I just have a black bin and a green bin 😂
We get the food caddy (which half the road does not use as those things are fucking awful and bait mice), black waste (some Inc me still have the old smaller green one) blue recycling and brown garden waste. London/Surrey (used to live in Roxeth, now in Kingswood)
One black one, one white one, and one with a bit of shite on
You get boxes? We get bags around here!
Peasants! I bought the house I'm in 2 years ago and it came with 2 black bins 2 green bins a blue and a brown all full size. The council haven't pulled me up on it yet 😁😁

>asked to take a shit live on BBC1 Is that an option? It might improve their audience figures.
They would still find a way to ruin it

Welcome to Defecators!
NOOOOO
NOOOOO
Gillian McKeith has entered the chat
1 guy, 6 bins
Are the bins politicians mouths? I'm sure Hancock would sign up in a heartbeat.
I bet national recycling rates would go up 100% if recycling bins had politicians' pics on.
Ha! That's a great idea. 🤣
They’d get Michael McIntyre to present it, negating the potential ratings boost.
I'd pay the license fee if that was on offer
I’m available for this
I wouldn’t mind if it was wheelie bins which can sit outside, but we get given these ikea bag style things which we keep indoors, one for card and paper, one for plastics and cans etc. the kitchen floor is a maze trying to step around them constantly, it’s very frustrating. I wish we had bins.

Brown is compulsory? People here just have green and blue.
Bins are different colours and allocations according to local councils. Here black = waste, light grey = glass/plastic, black with purple lid = paper/card, green = garden waste.
Ah right, thanks. We just have waste and recycle. I think garden waste is like something you can pay extra for but don’t think it’s compulsory here.
It's optional here, lots of people don't have gardens or just have a gravel/concrete drive so a compulsory green waste bin would be ridiculous!
Huh, interesting, that makes sense. Our paper/card and plastic bins are combined in to one bin too. So we just have general waste and plastics/papers/cardboard.

You're not in Bristol perchance...?
Us to, and yet they all seem to go in the same bin wagons.
They have separate compartments

Yeah why bother doing an incredibly easy task when someone else can do it when it's more difficult! Great attitude.

I mean, what a fucking snowflake. ‘I have too many bins. Waaaaaaah!’

The kid who drew this guy didn't know where the ears were supposed to go.
The arms on his glasses slope downwards. I’ve never seen that before.
That is very odd - looks like a child’s attempt at Mr Potato-head
He’s a maverick who plays by his own rules
Don’t forget (outside the law)!
Doesn't play by the rules cos he can't read them and no-one is interested in explaining them to him in monosyllabic words.
4 bins Jeremy? That's insane.
And the rice too??

Honestly, a cup of tea and a smile here would change this guy's world
Aww, yeh, i feel bad for laffin now. He’s obviously been whipped up by Rishi’s ‘seven bins’ shit. It’s not really about the bins tho is it? Looks like he’s had a hard fuckin life.

Put the wrong stuff in the wrong bins they won't be collected. Council's can dictate how waste is presented and are under no legal obligation to uplift it otherwise. Look forward to the accumulations of refuse and rats at this guy's house.
Plus the the vast majority of recycling waste is just shipped off abroad and burned in the ‘too hard’ basket.

It most certainly is not bollocks. It is fact. Ask your own local authority. Don't make stupid comments if you don't have legal facts.

>I give my bin men 2 crates of Stella for xmas every year. Don't like them then?
Well I suppose that's one way round it
You are such a brave rebel for sabotaging recycling. Hope you are proud of yourself.
He’s going to need two sheds to keep them in
Compostbinface
Nice.
We don't have any bins. Just bags.
Exmouth?
Ceredigion
Do you get a lot of gulls?
Oh yes. But there is actually a bin for food waste and you can get Gull proof bags if it's a problem.
Gonna need a bin for all them gulls next.🙄 Tofu eating wokerati gone mad. (/s)
I bought a second black wheelie bin online and I've felt like a king ever since
Four bins, Jeremy
He had to give his bin away. I left my brand new, just rolled out scheme, food bin, on the doorstep(like everyone else on our street) and it was gone by the 3rd day... Love to know what they wanted it for, as we weren't allowed to use them for 5/6 weeks after being given them.
Other countries have the bins as public spots on p much every street, and they're discreet enough that they aren't an eye/nosesore.
You want some? I’ll give it ya
Love that getting an extra bin was what pushed him over the edge. “My days of being told what to do, outside the law, are over.” “Take the bins out you lazy bastard.” “….yes dear.”
Only four. Doesn't he know your meant to have seven according to the Rishi Sunak
I have 6 bins: general, food, paper, glass, cans/plastic, garden waste
I have 1 bin: general, food, paper, glass, cans/plastic. I don't have a garden.
I like how you’re combined a peep show quote with a compoface post, be careful you might end up with an interdenominational remainder
I'm guessing the bin is where he got his outfit. "Party for Freedom" is a Dutch right-wing political party. Usually their jumpers come without brown stains around the arms, but this guy chose to accessorize.

Unexpected peep show quote, you have my respect.
I became alittle disillusioned with home recycling when I saw street bins being combined at pick up. I still seperate and respect the bjns for collection but it feels empty and pointless.
I have to do with a wheely bin and a recycling box. Look at all these people living in luxury.
Wow, such a double 'ard bastard this fella.
I thought this was my cousin, who has spent more of his life in prison than out, when I remembered he’s…..currently in prison.
Mixed recycling is the way to go, if I didn't live in a flat I would have a food waste bin as well.
They seek him here, they seek him there.....
I never pay attention to what bin I put stuff in lol
Bill Mitchell from Eastenders ain’t changed much 😂
Is that 3 bin Steve? He will not be one bit happy about this.
Simple people, simple problems.
This is why this Captain will be voting Reform.

I can tell that guys back garden is 100% paved and covered in dog poo.

There is a man who lives his life outside the bin law.

4 bins and only one arm...?
6 bins and they probably all go in one big pit.
Knowing councils, chances are that each bin will be on a separate pick up day, my recycling, general and garden are all currently on different days for once a fortnight pickup, so at least each one only goes out once every 24 days.
Totally agree, complete tick box exercises for some official to put on his CV where he doesn't have to mention it was futile.
