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.

Same system here but no requirement for the plastic bag. :hmm:

Arrgh! So this is how they sneak Communism in the back door! They give you bin bags and wheelie bin commissars! Before you know it...

"Comrade, the Council has made its decision. You're going to the re-education village until you learn to place your bin correctly! It's for the good of the community. Take him away!"

"Bloody hell, not the Village!"
