The crux of it is that none of my neighbours have put their bins out yet so i don't know which bin i have to put out;

Update on my update; these fuckers have started putting bins out but ive been in bed for an hour.

@SevenTierCrazyCake The struggle is real!

@ineedadrink i'm comfy & its raining

@damselfly That reminds me of my parents' neighbour, Jan, recounting someone in the local council conducting a telephone survey about refuse collection. The conversation went something like this:

Council Lady: "We've noticed you never put your brown waste-food bin out. Don't you use it?"

Jan: "No. We don't waste anything. Bones boiled down to make stock can go in the ordinary rubbish, and inedible plant bits like peelings go in the compost."

Council Lady: "But what about the food you leave on your plate?"

Jan: "We don't do that! We eat it all because we know what we like and how much we can eat!"

It soon became clear the Council Lady was totally baffled by such concepts...

@ArishMell leaving food on your plates? Crikey! Well, I suppose there are some people in the world who do that, in spit of not having a bird table

@damselfly LOL!

I am afraid too many do waste too much food needlessly. I do accidentally at times, mainly by it going off before I can eat it all. For example, cucumbers - the shops have stopped selling halved ones so it's difficult to avoid losing perhaps a quarter of it even if eating some every day.

A bird table will deal with some food waste, but not all. Round my way, near the coast, it would most likely attract gulls. I don't want them in my garden. I have a bird-feeder, but use proper bird-food in that, and it is hung under a bush so small birds like sparrows can reach it, but not the pigeons.

@OhIsMe that's banned

@Degbeme can't be doing that!

@SevenTierCrazyCake Just pick one!

@Degbeme I'll wait

@SW-User its 50/50. I have a packed schedule, i don't have time to keep abreast of such matters!

@damselfly Five? Good Lord! We have three

@SevenTierCrazyCake well i hope this has made you realise how easy you have it! Garden waste, food waste, general waste, cardboard and paper, and finally recycleable plastics, glass and metal

@damselfly it actually has! 😨

@CheekyBadger i mean, they likely dp

@Captainjackass naturally
