Here’s the situation - on bin day, I put out my bins with the draghandle facing outwards, because in my mind that means all the bin man has to do is grab the handle. My neighbour however, contends that it is more appropriate to have the bin lid facing outwards as some bin men like to check what’s in the bin before they drag it to the truck. I’ve never seen a bin man do this. To me, their way means extra work for the bin man but my neighbour says its my way that causes extra work.
In the grand scheme of things I doubt the bin men give a fuck which way round the bins are but I’m interested in what you all think. Handle facing out or lid facing out?
I’m with you but I have known bin men check the recycling bins to make sure that you aren’t putting plastic yoghurt pots in the plastic recycling because apparently that’s not allowed. (Although I have since moved and the new place allows you to put any plastic in the recycling)
Weird how different counties have different rules. All our recycling has to be in white bags before going in the green bin.
It is more than weird. It is why we have such shit recycling. If we had a national program then services could be rolled out more efficiently. But no.
