Rubbish Collection

People must have perfect neighbours.  I find my bin full of other people's rubbish almost every week and also rooted through. That's when they're not sticking tins in my front hedge or leaving chips on the sidewalk.

One or two week collections would be fine (if it was actually one or two, on my street they seem to forget) in the winter, but when it's hot, one week is long enough to grow a fine collection of mold and larvae on anything that's wet.  Not necessarily food.

And  I must say I find casting aspersions on neighbours' life styles not a friendly way of dealing with a problem. If someone says their bins are not large enough or they don't have enough room, I would simply believe them rather than suggesting they drink or throw parties. I feel that kind of comment does not add anything to the conversation.
