Two types of people: 1. Those who know when bin day is. They plan for it. They anticipate it. They look forward to it. The bin is out the night before. 2. Those who know it’s bin day when they hear the bin lorry. Somehow the universe sees that they marry each other.
@SoVeryBritish Americans will never grasp this very British problem!
@SoVeryBritish My boyfriend always tells me it’s a rubbish day tomorrow
@SoVeryBritish @riviera1251 That’s 100% true in our house 😂😂
@SoVeryBritish Does it mean if you can remember and forget it week to week, then there's no hope for me?
@SoVeryBritish I tend to get my bin out first which makes me my street’s “Binfluencer” 🤣
@SoVeryBritish I check my neighbours to know which of the FOUR bins to put out.
In certain affluent cities here in California, this would not be an issue because city leaders have deemed trash bins being placed outside on the street as unsightly, even if it’s only temporary. As a result, bin people will personally go to each residence to manually collect & empty the bins. This personalized service adds a huge cost to the homeowner’s yearly property taxes. The plus side is there is no need for the homeowner to ever worry about putting out the bins & then having to retrieve them once they are emptied.
@SoVeryBritish Or when you know what day it is And you're ready But the old people on your street didn't bring theirs out yet So you start questioning, what day is it really
