I'm in Sydenham, which is Lewisham council. Most people on my street out their bin out on the pavement in the mornings, but on occasions that I've forgotten, they come and get them. When they're emptied, they leave them on the pavement by my gate, and in my opinion, this is a good service. To go back in to each front garden, and replace the bins exactly, would take an age, and basically cost a whole lot more.
