The New Forest is about to enter the wheelie bin age - apparently we are going to end up with five different bins and the glass collection looks like it is going

Be honest, itâs only the glass collection bit thatâs bothering you.

Theyâre fine - if you donât live in a terraced house that fronts right on to the pavement. The street scene looks a mess, but hey, Cobham Towers is in picturesque Surrey surroundings and the staff do the bins 
Seriously, it took the C_Sâ a while to get used to the the 4 bins we have, but you get into the routine pretty quickly especially if you get your weeks muddled up and the champagne bottle wheelie bin is overflowingâŚ

The only upside is that I donât have to use the cover of darkness to drop my overflow in the neighbours bins
Keeping up appearances is a real pain in the arse

Given that a lot of people have long gravel drives in the Forest, these wheelie bins are going to be a bundle of laughs for the elderly

The elderly only have to notify the council, and they will arrange for the binmen to get it from outside the house and put it back afterwards.
Edict from Gandalf? Has he shown up again to show you little forestlings the way?

Where did I put that Santa beard
Here in (ex)Poole council we have 2 bins, a rubbish bin and a recycling bin, (ex)Bournemouth council also had a food bin.
We are now one big unitary authority (BCP) so I should imagine at some point we will also get a food bin. Mrs BTripz has already said she will refuse to use it as it un-hygienic, TBH itâs hard enough getting her to use the recycling binâŚ
My parents have a wheelie bin for rubbish, but everything has to be put in black bags and then the bags left out for the binmenâŚgo figure!! I would suggest itâs because the trucks havenât been retrofitted for wheelie bins but they just have to leave the recycling wheelie bin outâŚ
We have 3 bins here in Test Valley so Chambers tells me. One for Amazon packaging, one for plastic Amazon packaging and the other green one for garden waste.
Last week Chambers illegally felled an Oak in lower 5 acres, chopped it up into small pieces and is loading a little at a time into the green bin. Heâs hoping it will all be gone by 2036.

Sat outside Lymington walk in because the Ayatollah has a hurty foot. According to her itâs broken and may need amputation and she calls me a drama queen
And itâs fucking cold because Iâm not allowed in
Many years ago me and a few mates were visiting a friend in Edinburgh, one of said mates managed to get a badly swollen/infected foot so off we went round the city centre in search of a walk-in centre. âWhy donât we pair off to double our chances?â was my great idea, which was accepted by all, so me and my mate went off whilst limpy and good samaritan mate went in the other direction. Me and bad influence mate were in the nearest pub within 10 seconds of losing sight of the other 2 and proceeded to neck pints at a solid rate. Half an hour later we were discovered and my injured friend was furious, quite literally hopping mad.
Moral of the story: Donât trust your student/borderline alcoholic friends when pubs are nearby.
