When in doubt, copy the neighbours.

  1. Secret Answer E: You hear bottles rattling up the street and run out before the recycling guys arrive at your house

  2. I know the day but I just don’t know which bins to put out. I just copy what next door does and I know that the people between me and 3 doors down just copy the neighbours further down.

    I’m waiting for the day where the whole road messes up and the bin men throw a fit.

  3. Over 2024, due to a recovering from a medical emergency, I had to live with both my parents (divorced) while me and my wife were in the middle of moving to a new town. Copy the neighbors.

  4. I set up a recurring calendar entry years ago for each bin. Even with holidays, strikes and covid my calendar is still synchronised. Best thing past me ever did.

  5. I get an email the day before, it’s a god send.

  6. I live in Birmingham so the answer would be “July”

  7. My neighbour knows the day, the core t colour bin and has them out well in advance the night before. I don’t need one of those little laminated calendars from the council.

    One week I just know he’ll put the wrong colour bin out, wait for me and swap it back just to teach me a lesson!

  8. My neighbour gave a printed timetable and a note saying it was better than reminding me every week.

  9. Always D, there is always one Binfluencer and i just follow their lead

  10. Tomorrow morning but I’m too depressed to take the bins out

  11. Yeah the easiest thing to do is just put out the brown bin (garden waste) which goes out every week and while you’re putting that one out check which of the other bins everyone else has put out, then just copy them.

  12. I will defend Cambridge council to the death simply because they update my calendar automatically with bin days.

  13. No word of a lie, the lazy bastards haven’t given us a schedule for two years now. Thankfully we know it’s every Thursday on this street, but it does make bank holidays and major holidays impossible to guess.

    Also, I hope whoever said “fortnightly collections” got severe gangrene of the genitals and then fell hole first onto an upturned pineapple. You wanna know why people are fly tipping, council? Cos we all know why.

  14. I have a repeating calendar event on my phone with a reminder at 7pm the night before it saved my ass many times
