🚮 Ever wondered why your wheelie bin was left full on collection day? 🤔 Turns out there’s a ‘little-known’ rule that’s causing some bins to be rejected!
While many think as long as the lid is shut, they’re golden, there’s more to it. Most councils have weight limits for bins to ensure the safety of both collection teams and their vehicles. If your bin is too heavy, it might stay put on the kerb!
Popular TikTok binman Ashley warns against overloading your wheelie bins. Stuffing them full might seem convenient, but it can lead to broken bins and an aching back for the collection crew. Not fun! Try recycling more, use a compost bin, or take excess rubbish to the tip.
Some councils offer larger or additional bins for bigger households, so check if you qualify. And if you’ve got bulky items, consider selling them on Facebook Marketplace or arranging a special collection.
Keep your bins light and manageable, and help make bin collection day smoother for everyone! 🌍♻️
