We had wheely bins issued by the council and they did'nt tell anyone chips were fitted.

Then kids and myself on a couple of occessions found this little inch circle things on the roads and pavements so we used to smash them.

In the heat and movement they drop out, then someone from the press mentioned what they were, council says were put in to save money in the future incase they bring in charges.

dead easy to get out use a pry bar

So whats going to stop people swoping them ?

Yep, we had to buy a new wheely bin for our brand new house because we were not allowed to bring the old one with us  :? :? :roll:

crazymac:
Huh :roll: Wheely bins, your lucky!! we have to carry the rubbish in our hands to the bin truck, a walk of 36 miles!

Sorry couldn't resist :lol: :lol:

Our council won't go to wheely bins because they would have to invest in new bin trucks! we have a black bag kerbside collection, and about two years ago they started an "orange" bag scheme where you can place your recycleables! But they only started it in south Pembrokeshire and kept promising that North would have it soon :roll: They are starting in in "some" areas of North next month, then if that works they will roll it out to the rest of us!! Mental!

Disco Matt:
Powys CC have got refuse collection spot on. You get as many recycling bags as you want, and just put them out on the kerb to be collected as per usual (a second bin lorry follows the one collecting the black bags). No wheelie bins, no chips. People recycle just as much if not more when you make it that easy as when you bully them into it.
