| How many bins do you have? | Started by: Grin-22 on Jul 14, '22 07:01 |

I feel like my waste collection company ripped me off when I moved into my new house. The previous owners had their bins here when I called to set up my service. They asked me if the previous owners had left their bins and I said "yes". The next day, a truck showed up and collected the bins. A week after that, another truck showed up and dropped off some bins. Not new ones. Not a different type. Just basically the same thing they picked up the week before. Then, when I got my first bill, they charged me for dropping off the bins. Anyhow, three. I have three bins. |

Hey everyone, I just want to update you all on the whole waste pickup vs. recycling pickup debacle. The last time we talked, the company was making me pay for recycling services (because I signed up for them), but they did not give me a separate bin for recyclables. When I called the company to complain, they said "You should have one". WELL NO SHIT. So I finally got my recycling bin. Up to two bins now. |

Three bins. One for recycle, one for yard waste, and one for garbage. We used to have two bins for recycle but we have a facility where they separate it now |

Only two for me But I have looked at many dump sites and alot of them are still not managing their trash and it all goes in the same pile. |

Man has three bins. Three bins is all I have. I resisted this at first but over time I have adjusted. I create less waste than I used to. I do miss the days of four bins though. Just throwing away whatever, willy nilly. Good times. |

I think it's time we rejuvenate BIN DISCUSSION. There's 2 bins in my yard, I have the ambition to amass more of them some day. |

I don't even have one. Since I live in a complex we are all stuck using communal dumpsters which generally works but then one of my neighbors decides to get enterprising and lobs a couch into the dumpster leaving no room for anyone's trash. |

| Just the two. One is for trash, while the other is for recycling. But what I don’t understand is, how does someone sort between the glass / plastic / paper in the recycling bin? I suspect this is all for show and it all ends up in the same dump. Perhaps I will perform an audit and follow the trash truck back to their HQ and see if this stuff is actually being recycled or not. | |

Hey guys. Yeah I just moved house. I have four bins now! FOUR. I hardly know what to do with all the space. I even have a garden waste bin, and I don’t even have a garden! You have to hand it to the ‘let’s laugh at the poor’ department at the council for that one. |

We have to pay extra for our garden waste bin. It is an opt-in service where they charge you and then send you a sticker to affix to your bin for collection on a Thursday. Despite having subscribed, I'm yet to have my garden waste bin collected and I'm disgusted by it. |

| Still just the two, unless you count the small wastebasket located outside the kitchen door that leads to the garage. We put our recycling in there until it fills and then take it out to the larger recycling bin outside. Sometimes it gets overflowed though and I get angry that no one bothered to empty it but in the big scheme of things I guess that’s not a big deal. | |

| Not a whole lot has changed since I last visited this thread still just getting by with the 2. But I remembered I have another one out back for lawn debris and such if you want to count that | |

We have 3 bins. 1 for organic materials, waste materials, recycling. Technically I have 2 of both bins so I should say 6! |

| Of those 2 bins I previously mentioned, both are out front awaiting emptying, as today is our trash pickup day. So to anyone driving by, both are easily visible for anyone to see, in case there are people out there thinking I was lying in my previous posts about having 2. They’re both sitting out front if you don’t believe me | |

| Nothing really new to report. Still rocking just the two, one for recycling and the other for trash. One thing I didn’t mention previously though, both are on wheels | |
