So you might think. They've smashed the corner off two of mine. I
actually saw one of them happen.

How did they do it?

They failed to fit it to the hoist correctly, and it twisted and half
fell off. And they chuck the inserts across the road.

And who cares? If it breaks, they get you a new one.

No, if it's broken you have to pay now. If it happens to me again, I'm
taking the CCTV recording down there.

Odd, as when I've seen them put bins on hoists, it's the easiest thing in the world to do. It's just a hook that lifts the bin up.
