Ways to get around fortnightly bin collections

[TimberWolf]

Other suggestions welcome, together we can beat this thing.

• Use the neighbours bin
• Dump bulky or heavy items in the nearest builders skip (at night)
• Bury rubbish in the garden (and move house every few years)
• Hide your rubbish (e.g. under the carpet, in the loft)
• Make things out of your rubbish (e.g. things that run on rubbish or a new wonder drug)
• Sell your rubbish (on Ebay for example)
• Interfere with the bin bar code or chip in some way ( e.g. remove or tamper with or swap with the neighbours bin when she is out shopping or at the dead of night).
• Do as they did during the second world war: Sew secret pockets into trousers and release rubbish gradually as you walk nonchalantly around in the compound (and spread it around with your foot while you whistle).
• Take other people's rubbish away for a fee, then do any of the above.

The following suggestions were considered too wacky to put in with the above.

• - Recycle more
• - Buy less of the stuff that your were going to throw away

Burn it

Burn it.
Develop syllogomania.

[Churchill]

Don't consume as much.

And for all those who advocate the fortnightly collection on economic grounds, did your council tax decrease when the fortnightly round was introduced?

Nope, I didn't think so!

Dont google for 'disposophobia' on Google Images. Nearly as bad as googling for 'bike pole'.

In greenwich they use the old bin for food, recycle for recycling(!). Those are both weekly - as are nappies.

Everything else fortnightly - amazingly little. I believe greenwich now recycles 80%.

I was really angry when I first found out about the scheme - I could not see it working. I reckon most people will love it when they try it.

Now all they need is one of those machines developed in Holland that recycles nappies...

Tell the council someones nicked your bin...they provide another one!

Rinse and repeat!

In Swindon you have to call the police and get a crime number otherwise, no replacement is given.
