Re: How is that going to work?
"I'm also the sort of person who puts his bins out in the morning if it's windy. "
Our local council insists on bins being put on the edge of the property for collection. My corner three storey house generates vortices that amplify wind speeds. On a windy day I have to listen for the rattling of the glass collection before going out with my recycle boxes.
Afterwards I go down the street to salvage the wind-blown materials - and rescue neighbours' now empty bins and particularly lids. The latter rarely fit properly to contain their contents - having in the past blown off and been run over by the bin lorry. There is no way to order just a new lid - you get a whole new box delivered and you are left to dispose of the old one.
