We tend to eat late (we've just finished now) and don't want rubbish hanging around the kitchen over night, so we tend to take the day's rubbish out after the evening meal.
Windows/interior lights are useless, unless you want to open the windows and unfasten and then open the shutters. A nuisance and also loses heat.
The exterior light is okay, but doesn't light all the way up the driveway and then the road to the communal bin and the ditches either side are fairly deep!
