Our brown bin has gone

[kford]

...looks like my neighbour's has too. It hasn't had much use lately, being winter and all that, but that surely wouldn't be a reason for taking it away. And it wasn't THAT windy last night. We're just off LL.

[KalamityKel]

If it's any consolation we've lost our blue bags... mayb there's a recycling accessory stealer on the loose!

[Rolo Tomasi]

follw this link to get a new bin

[falcao]

Sounds like it's now become a Has Bin.

Oof! That's - ahem - rubbish.

Thanks, Rolo, replacement on its way hopefully.

Well I have no green wheelie, it was stood next to the brown bin they were holding hands chatting together as these bins do, came out in the morning at sevenish and no green wheelie. All my black bags are being deposited in the conveniently placed brown bin.

I wonder if the link does green wheelies as well as the brown ones, I hope so.

[falcao]

I'm sorry to hear about your bin. That's a wheely rubbish thing to happen.

[Rolo Tomasi]

SteveT follow this link for a green bin

[KalamityKel]

U might be in luck and be able to get a new one. I'm not sure on the level of Southwark's supplies but over in Lewisham and the likes they have a good shortage of bins and you have to w8 a good few months...

[halicon]

Steve T we have acquired a green wheelie bin outside our house after the stormy nights this week - might be yours? PM me if you live near Ondine/Adys Road!

[SteveT]

Thanks rolo just ordered my new wheelie' via your link;-)

So it's okay to post about lost blood plastic bins on the main page, but the 'assisted dying' link gets slumped into the Lounge? Sort it out

The thread was started by the poster on the Lounge site. Nothing sinister happening.

[kford]

And, important debate that it is, it has nothing directly to do with ED. Whereas my brown bin has ;-)

We have a different bin related problem.

*glances over shoulder for Mr Admin and decides to risk a topic tangent*

Our wheelie bin is all present and correct, but someone keeps dumping their rubbish in it. We rarely fill out bin so it wouldn't be a problem except that it's reclyclable waste, mostly cardboard, being dumped which the standard bin men won't take away. So, every week the bin men pull all the dumped cardboard out of our bin and leave it by the side and we have to crush it all up and try and squash it into our recycling bag.

I realise this isn't really that big a deal, in the words of Baby's dad in Dirty Dancing "this is not a tragedy", but it is beginning to annoy me. Does anyone have any suggestions or bright ideas to stop it happening?

Padlock your bin!

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Add a strip of copper to the handle, wait for it to weather down into the same shade of fetching green (natural yoghourt will accelerate the process) then wire up to the mains.

[Asset]

Padlock is not so far-fetched. When we start being charged by the weight of our bins it will be necessary to make sure no one else is using it.

[falcao]

Oh well, at least dumping your rubbish in someone elses bin as opposed to on the street is eco friendly.

Our green bin disappeared a week ago but it came back last rubbish day.

I hope it had a nice time.

[falcao]

Well,I'm still smarting because many of my jokes in other threads (and this was some of my best material) were deleted by the administrator. I try to bring a bit of sunshine into peoples lives and it gets the bums rush, yet a moan about a lost bin or a double parked lorry gets pride of place and drags on and on. Sort that out as well.

I'd say, we are entering the season now.

as spring approaches we'll be seeing more of this happening.

[Moos]

Why Azul, do bins get frisky in the spring time?

'In the spring a livelier iris changes on the burnished bin

In the spring a young bin's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of.. er... sin?'

Falcao, I liked your puns, don't be discouraged
