Its about time these waste collecting outfits put their heads together
and got a standard sorted out.

That is a standard isn't it? All the bin sizes are the same height, to
suit mechanical emptying, but their width/capacity varies. The only way
they could accept smaller than the standard, is by making the bins
narrower, which would make them unstable.

ITYM *more* unstable ...

Yup you have to be careful with our non recylceables bin - its the same
height and depth as a full sized bin, but only about two thirds the
width. Net result it has a tendency to want to tip to the side when
wheeled over rough ground, and try and twist your wrist off!
