Ive tried the puppy pads to train her on and she wouldnt take to them.

So who do you think is right here, i shall be phoning the council later about this as i dont want to end up with a fine.

tell them to sod off, you pay your council tax its there job to clear your rubbish no matter how you decide to bin it

these clowns seem to forget they work for us and that we we dont work for them

This recycling lark is getting to the level of insanity now. Common sense should prevail. If we have broken glass do we put it in with the glass or do we wrap it in paper as before and put it safely in the wheelie bin?

I just put broken glass/crockery in the grey bin on its own unwrapped. There is no need to wrap it in paper as no one handles the contents of the grey bin. The paper idea was when they used to carry the bin bags by hand.

The way they fling wheelie bin rubbish around the streets on bin day here Neil I feel safer wrapping it. Nobody had to touch it in the olden days either when they tipped the bin into the truck and they were far less likely to drop stuff and ignore it.

It's beyond me why we can't put vegetable peelings in a garden waste bin. It ll composts for goodness sakes. Mind you, as we don't officially have a garden according to HBC we have no legal means of disposing of our garden waste short of taking it to the tip ourselves.

Garden waste goes in my grey bin because I don't have a garden either

Which reminds me I need to cut the grass I don't have tomorrow.

I wish somebody would tell the weeds that we don't have a garden and they have no business growing in the garden that we don't have.

You may be able to get Yellow bags from your council for putting animal waste into.
Burnley do that, although it's not widely publicised.

Do ya reckon I can get somet from the council to put my garden waste into for the 2 gardens we have? Seems like none of the houses round here have a green bin
