I keep mine in the cupboard under the stairs and that is the only reason that I was everything out before putting them in the box or blue sack

I used to keep the paper sack in the house until it got mucky and yucky on collection day, now it lives outside with the rest.

I keep mine in the blue bin next to my front door. By the way my front door is at the side of the house so it dont look messy when driving down our street.

Why do you call it the front door then and not the side door?

My paper sack stays in the kitchen. Blue box is in the yard, & i've got an old style metal bin outside where i keep my blue sack.

Where abouts off Blackburn road do you live? I might just want a word with you, no wonder I can't keep my backyard clear!
You didn't dump two wrought iron gates complete with gate posts in the alley the other week as well did you?

Hey up HBC I think we've got a suspect!

Thankyou for alerting me to this, i've always put my tins in the blue box (which i have in the back yard) so have just had a look on the calendar that we have and it says:

CANS: Empty and wash aluminium and tin cans. Put them in your Blue Sack with your plastic bottles (do not tie) You can now squash cans if you prefer.

But they dont seem to be bothering that we're putting them in the blue box. Problem is I have my blue bag in the kitchen and i dint really want tins in there, thats why I have my blue box in the yard.

HINTS AND TIPS - YOUR BLUE BOX, BLUE AND WHITE SACK

Use the WHITE SACK for waste paper only, i.e. newspapers, magazines, junk mail, yellow pages etc.
Do not put any domestic refuse, nappies, books into the sack as these can not be recycled. Take care when presenting your sack for collection to prevent problems of spillage and windblown paper.
Use the BLUE SACK for plastic bottles only, i.e. milk, shampoo, pop, washing-up plastic bottles etc and metal cans/tins and foil.
Do not put any domestic refuse, nappies, or plastic toys into the sack as these can not be recycled. Take care when presenting your sack for collection to prevent problems of spillage. Wherever possible, wedge the sack between other containers.
Use the blue box for glass jars and bottles only. Rinse debris from glass containers before putting them in the box. Wash out your box occasionally as this will help keep it clean
Use the green sack to recycle your clothes, bedding, curtains and footwear.
EVERY BODY GOT THAT? GOOD!!

Im keeping mine in my box as i dont have the need to recycle glass bottles, so put tins in with the odd few otherwise no need for box at all eh? & my blue bag is always full of recycable plastic bottles & stuff anyways besides wouldnt it be safer that they are visable in box rather than hidden in bag where sharp edges could snag or poke thro
