The first time = the wrong ones so the neighbour copies and gets it wrong, and then put the actual bins out later?

[Crimson Dynamo]

no its in my calendar on my phone

[Josy]

The title gives me a headache

But no, alexa tells my husband when and what bins to put out

[Marsh.]

I can't make any sense of what the hell you're trying to say?

You put the wrong bins out on purpose?

[Smithy]

That’s a bit sad

also handles facing out

how hard?

We recycle and ours are supposed to go out every Thursday

1 week = General waste/ food waste
Next week = Cans/ bottles + Paper/cardboard.

Sometimes though they don’t even turn up.

[Cherie]

our bins and recycling are taken the same day each week, so it would be pointless putting the wrong bins out

[Beso]

I'm a bit colour blind so I just leave them all out as a trip hazard all week.

Trash bags go to the bin house.

Our green bin only gets collected every three weeks which isn't enough so ... I put that out twice ... . I fill both the green bin and the brown bin (garden waste which we don't use as we have a gardener who removes waste)... and I live on a t-junction corner... so I put the green bin in front of my house and perch at the window waiting for it to be taken. The bin truck then turns left down a cul-de-sac and I sneak out, transfer the remaining bags from the brown bin into the now-empty green bin, and put it back out on the road to the side of the house. Meanwhile the truck goes down the cul-de-sac, turns at the bottom, and heads back up past my house the other way, re-emptying the green bin on the way past . They either have never noticed that there's an "extra bin" without a corresponding house or perhaps just don't care .

This is not what you meant but a story I thought I'd share . Dinnae tell the coonsill.

TS running down the garden path like a giddy kid on Christmas morning to trick the binmen is peak 2020

If I do a buttload of gardening and fill the grey bin ages before it's emptied, I wait until nighttime and wheel it out to the church's yard, and ring the council next day to say it was pinched.

Usually barefoot, if that adds to the imagery.
