spanners45 Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Hi All. Our wheelie bin was stolen (yes, stolen and yes, a wheelie bin, beats me!!) over the weekend and I need to get a replacement one. Unfortunately that means dishing out the money as the council don't replace them for free. I was wondering if anyone had any tips on where I can get one at a good price. The council charge ?46.50 or so, which seems rather a lot especially since it was stolen and it's hardly our fault. Any help much appreciated!

monniemae Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Are you under Southwark Council? they've always replaced ours for free, and recycling boxes (which were always disappearing). You could even do it online (though I had to phone to ensure it went through). Unless they've changed it v recently it might worth you calling back and hoping to get someone else?

spanners45 Posted March 22, 2013 Author Share Posted March 22, 2013 Amazingly, I got home this morning for lunch with the kids and our 'wandering' bin has been returned! Someone's guilty conscience? Who knows, I am just glad it is back. Thank you to all those of you who offered one of your spare ones. I will be in touch if it goes walkies again. Happy weekend everyone!
