Cinnamon Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 OK, its NOT really a Wheelie bin, but a little green bin of the same sort, for the roadside food collection. Problem is that the stupid bin blokes seem to think its OK to leave anyones food bin by my gate. Now, I line mine & keep it pristine, but others don't & to have to s"Ooops, word censored!"e out 2 inches of someone elses rotting dinner is really horrid I sopke to the council today (again!) & as these bins are not chipped or marked with an address, all they can suggest is that I mark it somehow...... Which is where you all come in - how can I mark it, & with what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cinnamon Posted September 23, 2009 Author Share Posted September 23, 2009 Love the stickers - will look into it properly a little later I wouldn't mind so much, but my neighbours keep getting my nice clean food bin (all the food is in bags & the bin is lined) & I have to de-scuzz their horrid bin which they just throw the food into I could go & speak to them I guess, but I am not good at confrontation & I reckon they would deny it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 Lovely stickers Sarah We don't have food bins yet and TBH don't have any food waste, so it wouldn't get used anyhow. I have white adhesive numbers that are on my three wheelies bins (for garden waste, recycling and rubbish) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 My neighbour has the Liquorice Allsorts one. It is very cheerful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abwsco Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 Sarah, do you have a Home Bargains down your way as they have number stickers in and also some similar to the Pimp my Bin ones. I know number stickers are 99p for a pack of three of the same numbers and I think the big fancy ones are around £3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 Wow which to choose? We have duckies on our bin splashing in puddles & holding a brolly. I also have a sticker for our garden waste bin. Haven't put it on yet, but it's of kittens. How cool are those stickers though?

Cinnamon Posted September 23, 2009 Author Share Posted September 23, 2009 I have ordered a nice circular sticker with our house number in the middle in large print & its name around the edge. They also do some jazzt stars, so I might get a set of those too, to scatter over the bins There is a lot to be said for making your bin look so nasty that no one esle would want to pinch it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Speckled Hen Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 There is a lot to be said for making your bin look so nasty that no one esle would want to pinch it You could emblazon "CHICKEN POO" on it But then perhaps the bin men wouldn't empty it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alis girls Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 I sprayed ours with a gold spray the sort you use at Christmas - a big number 11 - still end up with number 9's I think the council men do it for a laugh - they have to do something - it must be boring. Apart from being there when they come cant think of anything else Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluekarin Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 maybe its your neighbours secret ploy to get a nice clean bin every week (or fortnight) as they know you'll clean it out for them But on a serious note that is very annoying a rude of them to do this. I love the stickers you have found and think I shall do something to our bins. Not that they get taken by the neighbours, its just it would be easier to make out ours in a huddle if bins (I'm sure they like to chat ) instead of looking at all of them.

jlo Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 I do not need to buy bin stickers....I do not need to buy bin stickers....I.... really think that I am going to have to order some of those!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 Has anyone got floral adhesive numbers? Someone down our road has and I've been wondering where they come from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 No, but what about the Omlet stickers for Eglus? They'd liven up a bin nicely! I had a wheelie-bin decal at the last house, it does cheer it up especially if you have to park it in the front garden 'cos there's nowhere else for it to go.
