Last month the binmen broke the lid on my wheelie bin by throwing it across the drive where it hit the wall instead of just placing it back there.
The lid still works but one hinge is snapped so I didnt think anything about it apart from being just a bit annoyed at the careless feckers .
Last week my bin wasnt emptied, when I enquired why, was told because the lid was broken and it could be a safety hazard.
3-5 weeks for a new one and until then they wont empty my bin.
Not really a problem though as my neighbours let me use their bins
The week before, the recycling lot didnt empty my recycling box because some passer by had put a plastic bottle in still with its lid on.
If only I ould end this with a stay about from my bins pun.

Cheer up.
Sounds like the binmen have been STAYING ABOUT FROM YOUR BINS!
