I knew someone who used one as an access platform while changing the lamp in his garage... he slipped and landed astride the corner of the bin. He was walking funny for several days ;-)

OK, then instead of quite often not putting the black bin out more than one time in two, we'll put it out not more than one time in four.
Around here people have learnt to share.
Well, it is supplied (supposedly) free and is emptied every 2 weeks. It is the same size as the normal wheelie bins.

Unless I have something unusual, my black (landfill) bin would last, at a wild guess, about 10 years. The very small amount that I do have is tipped into next door's bin when I put it out.
In September we're getting blue WBs for all "recyclates" - about time to, as when the boxes are emptied our carefully sorted gems are tipped into one bin anyway.
We'll also have containers for food waste - another 10-year container for me (although it would probably waste away faster than I would put it in).

Our green bin is for landfill. Grey bin is for recycling. Go figure.
Thanks, but I'll risk it. Besides, I tend to do it either in the middle of the lawn where there's a soft landing and no obstacles to strike my bonce; or at the side of the house, where I can hang on to the drain pipe...
Yep got one of those (not Maplins) but it's complete crap; and the compacting ratio is but a fraction of what I can achieve in person.
Our council provides all the details on their website - wouldn't be surprised if your Mum's does as well
When ours was first launched (quite a few years ago now!) it was not that long after the big foot and mouth outbreak. We were told that as the garden waste was taken to a farm site for composting all food stuff was banned from the site as it was suspected of being the cause of the 2001 outbreak.
No idea how true that was. Since then we've had an extra food waste collection added but that goes to a industrial site and not a farm.
