That?s a little disingenuous Otta, there have been several fairly strong criticisms of posters like Ron70 who have been clear that they don?t think it?s acceptable.


It seems that some people take more exception to those of us who dont want it and are emphatic about it being out of order and invasive to intrude on to property to rummage through others bins.

I've never seen them in action, wrong poster.

Are you actually asking my advice or trying to be clever? I'm guessing the latter! I've already stated that I wouldn't be happy to sit and watch someone going through my bins (regardless of where they're positioned) and if I put something out that I think might be of value to somebody else it's always accompanied by a piece of paper inviting people to "help yourself". Any more questions?


Ron70

Two woman with a trolley v veolia, I know where my main concern would lie.

At least these woman can be approached directly where veolia, our friendly local

Binmens company has a history of refusing to give information asked.

I think my initial sympathy with the OP was that people were in the front garden/alley/drive. Regardless of the rights or wrongs of bin rummaging (I?m indifferent), I?d be unhappy with people being in my front garden or right outside the door or down the side alley who weren?t there to visit, ring the bell, deliver something etc. I think I?d feel entitled to ask them to ?get off my laaand?.

    • Hey fellow cat owners! Was hoping that you would consider putting collars with bells on your outside cats? I’ve wee fledglings in a nest and at the moment I’m defending them against an orange and white dude (I call him Trump) and his nemesis, a lovely Tuxedo cat (I call Elon)… they are quite the double act in my back garden!!!! It would give the wee ones a bit of a better chance if a bell could announce their approach. And as a feline owner myself, I know cats will be cats, but every little helps even the odds. many thanks.
