I've mentioned before that our neighbours are morons. I dread to think how many years they've lived here without quite grasping bin schedules and at some point, somehow, probably because they'd overfilled it, their recycling bin lost its lid. It's rained a lot recently and this is the state of their green bin right now. I've parked our car well away from the front of the house because they won't consider it when or if they eventually tip this over to empty it.

@neonbubble Ergh.
But also, TIL in some places the green bin is the recycling one.
@thegiddystitcher @neonbubble Green for recycling, black for household, brown for garden and a tiny grey food waste bin for us.
In the last place we lived it was black for household waste, black & purple lid for paper/card, grey (or clear bags from the council) for other recycling and garden waste was green. They were threatening another black bin with coloured lid for other non-plastic/paper recycling but who's got space for all that binnage?
Of course green is recycling. What crazy colour scheme wouldn't have green as recycling?
@neonbubble When you say it like that, it does make sense! But green was our default wheelie bin colour already, so the recycling ones are blue :o
Black is normal here, green is recycling, and we have a small grey one for food waste, all of which are standard. Some people pay extra for a brown bin which is for garden waste.
I think I read somewhere that there is more standardisation of bin collections coming into force across the country this year and everyone's going to have a minimum of four bins soon. Our neighbours are going to be even more confused, not that they've ever used their food waste bin.
