Bloody packaging!

Bloody packaging!

Pink Minx has decreed my kitchen has to be revamped. She’s chucked all my pots, pans, crockery, etc in the bin! OK it was past its best so I ordered everything on line.

I’ve now got boxes in boxes within boxes cluttering the place up. Now the council are clamping down on unsightly rubbish dumped next to bins.

HELP!!!!

What I find funny is that Farnell try and shove anything they can into padded envelopes, even when it should really be in a box.

Every time I finish a job I end up with half a wheelie bin full of cardboard, no matter how small the job. I can't take it to the tip as it is still trade waste, but they don't want me to throw it in the bin at home and would rather I recycle it, but don't allow me to do so unless I try and squeeze it into the small green box for cardboard (shared with cans and bottles) because the tip won't take it for recycling.

i recycle all my cardboard... gets turned into heat in the fire..

In our council area we have a blue wheelie bin for recycling and a black wheelie bin for non-recyclable waste. People in urban areas also have a brown bin for grass cuttings and food etc. If your council was serious about recycling then they should be providing proper services.

We have 4 fkn bins, green for cardboard, brown for food/garden etc, grey for non recyclable, and blue for cans/bottles etc,

They get emptied in some random 3weekly cycle , you'd need to be a mathematical genius to work out what bin is due when, 

tbh, we could do with another grey bin and at least one more blue one,

Its fkn ridiculous,!!!!!

3 here, general rubbish, recycling & garden waste. but next year the council are charging to empty the garden waste bin so anything that would be going in there will be in the general waste...

They check the bins here ..sneaking garden waste into domestic is the death penalty. 

We have three  ,   BROWN garden bin @£30 year...     GREY.kitchen /domestic   and a BLUE recycle bin  with a paper box in the top , cans, bottles in the main body. 

Sequence is   GREY every Thursday .............BLUE & BROWN  oscillate every other Thursday until December when the BROWN is'nt emptied again until March .  Simples.

I bribed the bin men last christmas. And........ for the last year they come down the side of the house, get the bin themselves, empty the bin, and put it back!!!! They also do not care that my bin is always full of swarf, scrap metal etc. Sometimes i think it is going to break the lorry!! I have seen them have to help the hydraulics to pick the bin up as the scrap in there is too heavy!!. None of that recyling rubbish [!!!] either, I only got the one bin, just ram it all in there!!

They will be getting bribed this year too!!!!

john...

Bin men, WTGrape, its like they EXPECT a Xmas bonus from you,

fk off, its your job to empty my bin,!

I pay your f-ing wages, I'm not giving you any more at Xmas.

Cardboard trick...leave bin lid open when it's raining.

surprising how much it compresses when wet :innocent

wouod not empty daughters bin as the metal and glass one had a paint can in it

put a sticker on it

she saw it happen

ran outside and asked what the issue was

told him to stop being an Essex

he refused

she said "hold my baby, picked bin up, emptied entire contents into,general waste bin and advised him to 'deal with it!'"

she had only only given birth two weeks before!

tolerance is a family trait....said NOBODY in our family ever

my old man lives in sSain, they has a fantastic system where he lives.

Large wheeled bin at the end of the road that the entiere road shares, evrery street has this. Pile up anything you like in and arround it, i have seen entire bathroom suite in one. Gets emptied every singe day. Costs around £40 a year.

Do you have any recycling facilities at your local supermarkets?

Morrisons near me do.

If you do have one nearby just flatpack the cardboard and bin it at the recycling centre.

I no longer drive due to illness so transporting it anywhere is a problem. I think a call to the council is on the agenda.

I could offer the bigger boxes to the guy in the flat above me, he’ll need somewhere to live when he’s evicted in the new year.

It's a shame bonfire night has already happened this year.
