Hmmmm so they want bottles but they dont want the bottle tops, thats nice gota take all the tops off now.

what a waste of time

so they want plastic, but they don't want plastic? eh?

If the grey bins are for Magazines, junk mail, newspapers, office paper, windowless envelopes, paper bags e.t.c then what the hell are them blue bags for!?!?!?

They haven't thought this through properly have they?

Me have no problems with all this crap, me have one bin and one bin only, and everything goes into that one bin lol

Ive had a grey bin for months now.

I have 3 bins now - green, grey and brown!!!

I never use the brown one (garden waste) - wonder if I can put it in the grey bin

Classic - Comment of the day

That is Recycling

is tha t cos u live in a high rise like nelson mandela towers next flat along to del-boy and rodders ? cushdie, luvly-jubbly !!!

Aye lol

lol we got ours the other day only problem we got with it is our back yard is that small we having problems getting to bins in there now

I like the idea, but mine's full and has been for weeks!

So if they want plastic drinks bottles, but not tetra packs or polystyrene, i'm guessing that includes the HDP (high density polystyrene) plastic milk bottles? CONFUSED!

Urrr
My Grey bin, that looks more like a charcoal bin arrived today.
Along with the instructions and calendar too.

Jesus its complicated,
i'm sure were all going to make mistakes.

Plastic Bottles but no lids.
No shredded paper in the paper bin its nuts.

Looks like i'm part of the equation now

First post updated with booklet download

Picture taken from Booklet lol

I gots one too, its more black than grey.

Fook recycling and all this stupid willy nilly about bottle tops, I'll be using the old bin until its full, then filling the black one with rubbish aswell!
Obviously disguising the crap with the odd plastic bottle on top

your not supposed to crush the plastic bottles.
I reccomend puttng them in last on the top




















My arse

WTF! your not meant to crush them!?!?

either we simply put everything in one bin for you guys to recycle or we don't. Simple.

No one wants to be faffing about with rubbish for half an hour being careful not to crush the fooking plastic bottles, even if it is to help the environment!

When you get a mo read the booklet that came with your new bin,
or use the link in the first post..

Its comical i'm going to do my first bit of recycling just now.

I have to rinse out a Tub Butter.

Wish me luck lol

This is daft.

So let me get this right...

they accept foil and yoghurt pots, but not youghurt pot foil lids
they accept glass, but not broken glass
they accept plastic, but not plastic bags
they accept magazines, but not catalogues

WHAT THE F**CK IS GOING ON?!?!

leaflet is utter cack

Try and solve this:

WEEK 1: we will collect just your green wheelie bin

• WEEK 2: we will collect your grey wheelie bin

• WEEK 3: we will collect your green wheelie bin again

• WEEK 4: we will collect your grey wheelie bin again

Your brown bin will also be collected on your usual day


Q: so what day is the brown bin collected?




Anybody want my rubbish then?

hey don't forget the Grey bin that takes
papers and magazines don't take shredded paper lol

I'm now reading the booklet to decide the fait of my Tub of butter.

It has a lid,
and a folie bit and cardboard?

Reading .........

joe brown bin is the same day its always been collected on

For me its a Thursday every 2 weeks

but i dont even have a brown bin!!! ARGHGHGHGHGHGGHHHH

Do you have a garden ?

no........ but thats not the point.

my point is...the scheme is confusing and lame

Agreed, my tub of butter is sitting next to me not knowing where to go?

Green Bin or the Grey Bin ?

I 'd say black bin lol stuff them if you get it wrong, you're new to this malarky - make it hard for them (pardon! - no not in that sense)

Sorry pics are from my phone

The bin men have called up my street to collect the Grey Bin Rubbish today.

Give them a little credit i did see one of the lads
walking up driveways to get the grey bins.

I think he was doing this because 80% of the bins
in my street were GREEN when they should have been GREY today.

So i'm having a quiet laugh as there is a green bin
in my street that's overflowing and its also has bin
bags next to it, but the next collection for green is
another week away

Fun and games
