Providing garbage bags is a government function? Insanity!

*snif* we have to buy our own bin bags to put in our wheelie bins *snif*

And I am all too aware of the consequences of overly skinny bin bags... all that used cat litter over my shoes and the lounge carpet... if you buys cheap you not only buys twice, you'll be down on yer knees a-scrubbing

What??? We don't need to put bags in our wheelie bins. The standard rubbish bag is fine, as you tie it up and toss it in to the bin. The driver doesn't even get out to empty the bin as it's all automated.

Your bin men seem to be a lot more high tech than ours - ours have to place 2 wheelie bins at a time on a jig at the back of the lorry. I guess a mechanical arm is not so practical here due to narrow streets and pig **** thick bin men who'd probably smash up all of the parked cars with the mechanical boom arm.
Where I live, if you put loose rubbish in the bin it doesn't get collected. Odd huh? Big plastic bin, but you still have to have a bag.

That's what I'm talking about. Since when was it a government function to provide garbage bags? Or garbage service?
I thought all they did was provide garbage.

Eheheh goood one

, I've got an idea, get a pair of hyenas or vultures to eat up the organic trash, a pair of goats to down the card and paper (they'll it anything...) and one of those guys who eat lightblbs to do the glass recycling... Just need to get something to take carre of the plastics... All provided by the local government off course!
