Binman shares 'easy' trick to stop bins being left down the road

A binman said a house number or name on the lid helps crews return bins to the right home after collection.

  • Ashley, a binman, recommends placing your house number or name on the bin lid to ensure it is returned to the correct home after collection.
  • Many people often find their bins left down the road after rubbish collection, creating frustration when they must retrieve them from neighbors' properties.
  • Ashley advised, "So get your number on top of your bin," noting that side markings are ineffective because the lid remains visible regardless of viewing angle.
  • Sharing their thoughts, one person said, "Yessss I knew I wasn't mad putting it on the lid!" while another noted, "Mine has always been on the front, name and street, never had an issue."
  • One person questioned, "Why are people so lazy, the extra steps will do us good," while Ashley emphasized that binmen will return bins correctly as long as identification remains clear.
