Debs. Tie a piece of string to the bag and leave that hanging out of the lid.

You may need a special knot so that they don't re-cycle the string.

What an appalling tale. ONLY in Britain.

I can tell you right now that this sort of nonsense has nothing to do with the EU. That is just a giant SMOKESCREEN by people who need something to blame this sort of nonsense on instead of taking responsibility for it.

The culprits?. Why it is YOU. Yes YOU the people of Britain. YOU have let this sort of Nonsense proliferate and haven't taken to the streets to get things changed. Instead YOU write on car forums. The powers that be do not read OOF to check whether what they are doing is acceptable.

I can tell you that I see stuff being done here in Spain by workmen EVERY DAY that would cause Britain to be shut down. e.g. Angle grinding slabs in the street with no goggles, ear defenders etc.

I don't condone unsafe practices but believe me this isn't "FROM the EU" rather from YOURSELVES. That is why Britain has the most CCTV, daftest rules on what can/can't be done etc etc etc.

Rant over, but please take to the streets

I must say, I agree with Varche ..... we in GB do NOT stand up for ourselves enough -
Where are you in Andalucia Varche? - we have a wee place near Puente Genil - about 1 hr north of Malaga, up m/way heading >>> Seville; 1/2 hr past Antequera?
In our little typically Spanish village, we have (as all do) the large wheelie bins, and everyone just dumps their rubbish in these - AND they are emptied twice weekly in the summer - and we pay about 12 euros a year for the privelage !!!
As for H&S?..... what H&S?? - lol - and Varche....dont you just love their scaffolding ??!!    - 'Health and what??'

Nice to see someone agree with me. I think the wheelie bins work really well as do the recycling stations. It would be good for Britain to have a similar system - who ever heard of doorstep collections!( A neighbour could help elderly neighbours. It wouldn't work in Britain as there would never be agreement over the location of said bins oh and no one would help the elderly.

Know Puente Genil and Lucena well. Water we pass ends up there! I can see the Genil from our window.
