Isle of Thanet here, and we're down to one bin.
It's black & lidless.
Yup, someone nicked the lid, before we moved in.
But, since moving in, someone nicked our recycle bin, so we have one, lidless bin!!
Just as well there's just 2 of us here. But the rest of the neighbours have 2. Blue lidded and green lidded.
Well actually, come to think of it, next door use a slab of wood for one lid and when I was out recently I noticed a lid was missing from next door but one, also!
Hmmm, we have a bin lid thief!! ??
Anyway, so our binmen, unlike those in the rest of IoT, just grab our bins and empty them regardless.
I like our binmen because they've even taken stuff from beside our bin!
