Is a refuse collector an official?
Ours seem to go through the recycling with a fine toothed comb, and if they find something they don't like, they leave the lot.

We have also been challenged about recycling food. They give out those nasty smelly plastic bins that you are told to put food scraps in, but I have one of those food grinder things in the sink, so we don;t have any waste to throw.

What is obvious is that they don't give a toss what goes where, they just have the ability to fuck with people, and do so gleefully.

I recycled my food waste bin as I had no intention of using it.

That'd be a good test.
Throw the scraps bin in the plastic recycling bin, and see what happens.

Of course I already know what would happen, they'd leave it exactly where it was.

That's what I did, they took it!

I've yet to work out
What difference it makes as it all seems to be picked up and slung in the same fucking place in the lorry anyway.

But then again I stay about from bins.*

*morally obliged reference.

"How odd... instead of being a bin man, you appear to be being a cunt."
"Little do you know, Mr Rubbish-Pickerupperer, but I am both highly vindictive and not at all busy today. And I happen to know that there is only a single road in and out of your depot.

So tell me, if your astonishingly underdeveloped brain is capable of figuring it out, what is there to stop me from waiting for you, stalking you, and subsequently engaging in a protracted campaign to ruin your life and that of your family, hmm?

Now, what was it you were talking about again?"

^wouldn't say boo to a goose ^

Yeah I would...
...cuz I often say a lot of things to someone's face before it occurs to me they're much larger and punchier than I am.

I'm not saying I'd win a fight with a goose though; in fact, the last goose I fought was definitely the victor.

The fucker had taken a dislike to me from the other bank of the river; it jumped in and made a beeline for me, then clambered out on the near bank, raised its wings large and wide, chased me away from my lunch, then stood guard by it, hissing and honking at me.

Not wanting to get pecked, I attempted to retrieve the lunch by using a sturdy forked stick to gently but firmly push the gooses neck away, while I leaned in to grab the food, but some passing pensioners (who had not witnessed the bird's earlier aggression) berated me like I was some chav, beating on wildlife. This distraction afforded the goose good opportunity to dodge the stick and get a couple of pecks in.

I like to think of that goose as some kind of petty official.

And another thing.
Ours is collected on Monday mornings. We get three lots collected; The paper and cardboard, the plastic metal and glass, and the general stuff that goes to landfill (aka stuff we couldn't be arsed to put in the right recycling box).

Why do they always collect the glass first? It's 6am, and some CUNT is outside in the street filling his giant wheelie bin with wine and beer bottles, then every 100 metres or so, emptying that into a truck, with a sound like a grand piano being dropped from 100 feet onto a cucumber frame.

They do it
Because they can.

Fortunately where I live you put all recycling (cans, paper, glass, etc.) into one wheelie bin. Deadens the sound when mixed up.

To compensate they drag the bins across the unmade road trying to catch every pot-hole, instead of waiting for the lorry to come to them.

STAY ABOUT FROM YOUR BINS

when I moved in someone had filled the boxes with soil.
I've been here 5 years and haven't emptied them.
