Trying to request a small wheelie bin for recycling
Following the flyers informing us of the new waste collection regime, I wrote to Veolia requesting a small recycling wheelie bin, rather than the mammoth 240L ones. I've just received this reply:
Thank you for your enquiry regarding your preference for a 120 litre recycling wheelie bin. We fully appreciate that residents have differing requirements and are more than happy to accommodate such requirements subject to completing a home visit to ensure that we can rule out the possibility of a 240 litre wheelie bin.
I can confirm that I have now booked a general enquiry and a site visit will be carried out in due course. Can you kindly email us your telephone number so that we can arrange a visit for you please? [emphasis mine]
Why on earth should it matter how big my front yard is? I recycle what I can, I don't generate much waste, and so a 120L bin is plenty big enough, so why should someone have to come round to my house to tell me that my garden is big enough for a large bin therefore that's what I should have? Why do I need arrange to be in for someone to take a look?
I've responded to say something similar and I'll feed back here when I get a response. Has anyone else tried this yet?

Apparently, in my road (Woodstock), the criteria was that properties with a basement entrance would get green bags instead of wheelie bins as the front yards are so small. I do have a basement but no front door down there, just storage.
I came back from hospital on Friday to find this.
What sort of logic determined that two huge wheelie bins would be OK here?
