Green (recycle) and black (general) bins sit side by side in a
shelter outdoors. This morning was green bin day and after emptying I
spotted no less than 12 slugs inside the bin. None at all on the
black bin. Anyone know why so many, why none on the black bin?

What's the difference in the contents? Food waste? Garden waste? Or
perhaps the black bin, being black, gets hotter than the green one
when the sun shines on it (or vice-versa, whichever slugs prefer).

As I said green recycle is cardboard, plastics, tins and paper. Black is
everything else, food and general waste. Both under shelter, so no
direct sun and the same temperature.

Our bins are blue for recycling, and black for landfill - flies
congregate on the lid of the blue recycling one, and ignore the stinky
landfill one.
