I UNDERSTAND that dustbin men do not like wheely bins with so much rubbish in them that the lids won’t close, but a friend of mine put a bin out for collection with the lid only slightly open.
He actually watched the dustbinman take a bag out of the bin, throw it on the floor, then proceed to empty the bin. Apart from being the risk of rubbish being strewn everywhere it was flytipping, or so I was told when I reported a similar incident. Apart from that it wouldn’t have taken much more effort to throw the bag on the wagon.
