Must say, I am surprised that ours is going to supply such a caddy. They
supplied a kitchen food waste caddy several years ago and the usual way
these things seem to work is that they supply one and that is your lot.

However any replacement of any of the bins, for any reason, is
chargeable. So if the bin associated with the property disappeared, we
too would end up without one until we pay for a replacement. Perhaps
that is what happened? Or maybe it is like some properties in our area
which have no bins but do get plastic bags instead?

I've never lived anywhere that the LA supplies any sort of container for
general waste. They supply one for recycling, but we have to supply our
own bin bags. I choose to put mine out in a heavy duty plastic bin, to
keep it from being torn open by scavengers, but it is not required.
