our binmen take our bins out for us...we have a pull out sticker because we can't manage them ourselves. When my OH was fit he always took our elderly neighbour's bins out .

Yes, my neighbour used to do that...

I don’t have bins, I told them I’m too old and feeble to move them but actually won’t fill my small garden with huge plastic containers. I have bags and have to put them out the night before as they may be collected anytime between 7 and 3. Black bags full of rubbish sit on the pavement overnight and have never been damaged by passers by , foxes or cats. You couldn’t do that in London, could you?

Our bin men are ace and get their Christmas box, but I’m not getting up that early!
Other people have been offered and accepted water during previous hot weather though.

I also put the bins out the night before, but occasionally have had to put the forgotten food bin out at the crack of dawn in my jim jams

I am sure they have bottles of water in their cab. I wouldnt accept a cup of water from someone I didnt know however kind a thought.
My regular postie I would ask can I top up your water bottle.

I would love it if they put my bin bsck where they found it and not just chucked on the pavement down the road for me to go and get in the heat.

I put bins out overnight as we are clearly right at the start of the bin run.

And perhaps when they take their break in the middle of the High Street they will close the hatch on the back of the Food Refuse Lorry rather than leaving it wide open, a haven for flies and spreading a noxious stench.
