On the topic of wheelie bins, are we alone in having dustmen that look
inside and will just take the bag if it's tied, rather than tip the
whole bin ? Does it save time ?


You are not alone! I suppose are rubbish is in a bag because we use
then in the kitchen pedal bin.


There's also the rather grey area of liability for any damage a bin
does *after* the nice bin men have emptied it. Maybe one for the legal
bods .....


To be honest, just 2 of us, we can go 4 weeks before the wheelie bin is
full ...


With one of me and **** all waste, it takes much longer than that.
I do put quite a bit of stuff I freeze in the smallest plastic bags and
put the bread from the bread machine in a medium sized plastic
bag and the frozen peas/corn/capsicum come in plastic bags,
but it takes a hell of a lot of those to fill a wheely bin.
