I'm not that keen about discussing the size of my member on a public forum, but in the spirit of getting to know every minute detail of peoples lives on here, when do you put your bins out?
Me on a Wednesday night before going to bed.
Big night tonight, can't wait. Bring it on.

    People who put their rubbish out for collection the night before are brave souls.

    I put my black bags out the night before once and left home the next morning to find the foxes had enjoyed themselves - Because of that I always put them out on a Thursday morning these days

    last night for me for collection today, will bring them back in when I get home. Greenwich still do weekly for all three bins but my neighbours across the road (Lewisham) are up in arms as they are switching to fortnightly for some soon and believe they charge now annually for weekly garden waste collection.

    My son has gone away to uni and that can be a hard time for a parent.

    Especially on Sunday nights when he's not around to put the bins out as that was one of his jobs.

    Tuesday evening, recycling is still once a week but the general waste is every fortnight.

    At last, a thread on here that deals with the issues I care about :smile:
    I put my bins out on a Wednesday night, BUT, after the foxes got hold of our food bin a few months back, I put that inside one of my other larger bins, till Thursday morning when I stagger out early morning and put it next to the ones to be collected. :+1:
    ( btw I know that means I could just do both bins on Thursday morning, but at that early time of the day.... actually thinking about it, why the fuck don't I do that??! Moment of great enlightenment, Grasshopper.)
    It's the simple life down here in Maidstone :neutral:

    Thursday nights.
    Lewisham is switching to fortnightly this week on non-recyclable, non-food waste. Food waste is new and recycling covers paper, card, tins, bottles, glass, plastic food containers.
    If Rob7Lee's neighbours are up in arms about it, they either don't bother recycling or don't understand it. I can't imagine how you can fill a wheelie bin with non-recyclable stuff in a fortnight unless you breed Great Danes or something.
    The garden waste was a new collection they introduced last year, so it has always been something you pay for. Or you can drive it to the dump for free.

    Tuesday's and Thursday's though we have 3 bins so they rotate... For instance:
    Week 1
    Tuesday is regular waste,
    Thursday is recycling
    Week 2
    Tuesday is garden waste
    Thursday is regular waste
    Week 3
    Tuesday is then recycling
    Thursday is garden waste...

    Easy right? I just look at what the neighbours have put out.

    Wednesday night for Thursday morning.

    After our bottle/can/plastic recycle tubs went missing, I've invested in the the number stickers on sale in Home Bargains (god I love that shop for all the house cleaning stuff!) and spent 10 mins labelling up all our bins.

    This, this and this. Can never remember what goes out every week. Just copy the neighbours.

    We've bin over all of this before. You can't trash people's opinions just because they don't agree with you. I refuse to let it happen. I won't let you recycle the same arguments and waste all of our time.

    How has this thread received 25 comments? (doh - 26 now).

    While I'm here - Monday night for Tuesday collection - alternating weekly between general rubbish and recycled/garden rubbish.
