dullwitch Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 Anyone else have there paper recycle bin set on fire last night?I'm on Upland road.

Pickle Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 No (we put ours out in the morning, as Mr Pickle has "concerns" that people will go rifling through it!), but that does explain the burning smell that we both walked round the house searching for last night at about 1am! Either you live very close to us on Upland, or others near us had theirs set on fire too.

Frisco Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 "By whom?"I don't think the posting was meant to be taken seriously (a kind of 'Revenge of the Southwark Recycling Officers).

McSporran Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 Until last Saturday, we had some building materials (mostly chipboard) outside our house. This prompted a letter from the council saying that we were at risk of arson! Apparently it's been a problem over the years.Cue prompt removal!They didn't mention recycling bins though.

Sushi Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 I have the opposite problem - everytime I do work on my house and leave stuff outside for me to take to the tip, some kind person removes it over night .... now the estate agents failed to tell me that dobby the house elf came with my freehold!
