The prettylittle household is situated in area with a three bins system. We put our brown (wet recycling) bin out ever week, accompanied by a black (non-recyclables) or green (dry recycling) bin on alternate weeks.
I take bin duty very seriously indeed. I have a whole Thursday night routine around ensuring various boxes around the house have their contents emptied into the correct bin. I’ve gotten rather worked up in the past when our bin routine has been inferred with. I’m astounded by people who put stuff into our bin. It’s happened before emptying (which often means it isn’t emptied due to what the council call ‘contamination’). Foreign objects have also appeared in it after emptying. Who dumps an entire ready meal still in its packet in some one else’s bin?
Although our bins have disappeared in the past it’s been more in the nature of a swap. There will be an appropriately coloured bin for us to reclaim even if one of our neighbours (having failed to notice the large numbers on the front) has taken the wrong one home.
This time however there is no spare bin for us to use instead. I’m uncertain whether I should phone the council immediately and report our bin loss or wait until next week and hope our last bin reappears.
Emotional attachment to a bin is a terrible thing…
