Unfortunately not - they've filled it up. The bon is easily accessed but if I see them doing it again there will be words.

I suggest wiring your bin up to the mains... :whistle:

@classic33 the issue is we have the largest house on the street and there have been comments that "we're loaded". In Dewsbury :laugh: :wacko:

Most of the neighbours are fine but one or two take liberties. And the one/two conveniently ignore the pair of old cars sat outside.

i've also been clearing overgrown plants in a grassy area on the street for a several years as the council just cut the grass, so I'm guessing that they thought it OK as well to put their own stuff on my bin.

@Reynard in Kirklees it's £40 a year for a brown 'garden' bin, so not a huge amount when compared to tip runs over a year.

Our green wheelie bin is free. But if you want more than one, you do have to pay. Not sure how much it is these days, as one does me fine. I've the space to store clippings in between bin collections.
I've a waste carriers permit allowing me to take garden waste to the local "recycling" centre.

Those running it, and the council, are non too keen I applied and got it.

I think it's about that for a supplementary bin around here.

But yeah, some people will take the p*ss if they think they can get away with it. Put the bin out of sight, maybe? Or lock it somehow?

No, but as I left work, a B-25 Mitchell bomber flew over.

I'm now covered in case of any coffee shortage...
What coffee shortage!.jpg


The women's tour is due through here on Saturday with them passing within a couple of hundred yards of home and finishing on Felixstowe seafront, so I may pop down late morning to see the set up.
 
I'm passing by on Monday on the way to Nottingham and then Tuesday on the way home. Unfortuately the new trains don't have opening window so you can't lob a few sausage rolls in my direction.

On the way out, look for the trees to your left shortly after you cross the Hundred Foot. I'll be :hello:

Shame I can't pass you a musette, I've got these lovely smoked Polish sausages that are nice grilled and stuck in a crusty roll with lots of fried onions and a good dab of mustard...
