I was idly watching the refuse collection this morning and one thing
that struck me was the amount of time it takes to empty just one of
them. Take the bin to the back of the wagon, hook it up and press the
button for the rise, wait for it to empty and then want for it to be
dropped off again, then return the bin to the edge of the property.

It was a far quicker process when everyone used bin bags. OK I know
they were subject to animals ripping them open, but most of that risk
could have been taken away by the use of an open top plastic box to
drop the bin bag in. One for each bag that was regularly put out for
collection.

So how many bags does it take to hold the 240l in a wheelie bin's
contents? 10?

What's a 2401?
