Chuck it in the wheelie bin

[victor]

make sure you put it in the correct bin or they might -

a) refuse to touch it

b) fine you for using wrong bin

then you will be on a blacklist

8 pages?? How can the bins need eight pages of instructions?? Or are the Swahili, Urdu, Chinese, Polish and Welsh translations included?

[TheOstrich]

8?

Yep, straight up, I have it in front of me as I type - cans to be crushed, don't recycle your jiffy envelopes, containers to be washed, take the lids off yer bottles, etc etc. Plus lots of do's and don'ts pictograms.

And there's a separate questions and answers leaflet about getting rid of the old recycling boxes they issued in AD 2000 (if anyone still has them, of course).

<Sigh>

Vic, the bins are serial numbered and I assume they are micro-chipped so the Stazi can get you if you do anything wrong / recycle too little / put out too much household waste.

Jo, the instructions give you a number to ring if you want a foreign translation "if you do not understand this important document" .....

Oh yes, and the small print states there is a £20 administration and delivery charge fee for replacing any missing and damaged bins. I assume that includes the ones I set fire to outside the Council House .....

Consider yourself darn lucky you have escaped this far. We have been suffering for years!
