To be fair, that’s a quite high level of dB. I guess they mean “don’t drag 2 empty ones up your drive path at 5am”.
That’s the noise level of them thundering down my drive
Not sure if I’ve missed something here but every bin I’ve seen has this somewhere on them, it’s the max noise you can make while using it. I’m going to guess it’s kind of a warning for if you end up prosecuted for making to much noise early in morning ect
My bins – all four of them – err on the loud side so I tend to wheel them along the verge rather than the road.
As a bin enthusiast, I presume that’s a garden bin, in which case your council collects such late in the year.
Mine is 11 it’s a spinal tap special edition 🙄🤪
No, this is the standard it has to be made to.
We don’t have wheelie bins.
That’s the db level of the lid banging in the wind
Yes, and to be fair I think it’s pretty accurate – the neighbours are yet to release my son from it on timeout .
So, this is the maximum noise it makes when you open the lid and let it bang against the back of the empty bin. There is a legal limit in the uk and it has to display what it was when it was tested (it also has a max weight it can lift on it too).
I always thought it was the address, I live at 89 Daisy Brow you see
No wheelie bins here. We have a big pile at the end of the road where the bin bags get left once a week. Not sure I could go back to having a wheelie bin.
No, mine just has a sound limit on it, so I make sure most of the stuff is quiet. More boxes, less newspaper.
My old mate often tells the time he took so much speed at Beltane in Edinburgh, he drummed on the bottle banks until his hands bled. True story (apparently).
I think it’s alerting you to the volume of slamming the lid, to let you know that it could be classed as antisocial outside of certain hours.
It’s health and safety gone mad.
Ear protection is recommended above 85dB so be careful about that.

One has this and the other has a teeny snail
Is this your wheelie bin though?

Have you found the RFI chip thing?
