We have to keep the bins at the front of the house, where they're accessible from the street, so passers-by put all sorts of crap in whatever bin is handy for them. Similarly the builders fill them all up with rubble, so the garbologists get really temperamental about it every Monday morning and leave stroppy notes about correct bin protocol. My neighbour has been engaged in low-grade guerilla warfare with the garbos since before I moved here 16 years ago. When I asked her for the background she told me it all results from one day when they insulted her father. In 1944.
