Bin there. Done that.

My dustbin emptying day has changed from Friday to Tuesday. Since that happened I have less rubbish, it being practically the beginning of the week. Obviously I'd have more rubbish on a Friday because I've got everything I've thrown away through the week. Clearly the council is trying to force us to reduce our waste. This is a good thing, of course, but will they reduce our council tax? I don't think so...

On a positive note, the bin men now return my bin to where they get it from, rather than leaving it by the street for me to collect. Tuesday bin men are therefore much nicer that Friday bin men.
