I've noticed that since the larger blue bins were introduced more houses and flats leave one or more of their bins on the footpath, even if they have sufficient space in their front garden.


This is annoying on narrow parts of the footpath and doesn't look that flash.


Is there anything that can be done (I've considered a kung-fu kick to each bin but that will only help my anger and will not help the aesthetics).

As pleasing as the thought of the cops staking out a misplaced bin and rushing the offender when he turns up is, I'd settle for a quiet word from the council at this stage. Or maybe the binmen could just keep any bins left permanently on the footpath? Or maybe I'm just getting old and grumpy.

Ha ha, make sure it's the brown bin for organic material (though you may be an organ donor in which case consider jumping in the blue recycling bin).


I completely understand why people with little or no front garden are forced to leave their bins on the footpath. It's the people who just don't care who annoy me (this applies to most ED issues, not just bins).


Anyway, I've already had a dodgy PM in response to my post so I'll stick to reading other grumpy people's thoughts from here on.


Thanks all.

It's not even a blue bin day today! I have emailed the council as my brown and green bins were strewn over the pavement too!

    • There are moves to place Thames Water into a SAR (Special Administration Regime) effectively renationalising it and wiping out its debt.  But then what ?  There is also rumours of lookmg for a new owner, including a Chinese backed group that already owns Northumbrian water and UK power.  Is that a controversial move as it places another of our inferstructural assets in foreign hands?  Should it be renationalised and run as a not for profit government organisation, placing investment and improvements before  shareholders? This in itself would adversely impact pension funds who have invested in utilities.  Its fairly obvious that Thames Water needs rescuing or restructure but what is the optimum and correct path to take ?
