The solution is not to put food waste in them.


The flies aren't necessarily breeding in our bins.


We don't have any
problem with flies, because we chuck everything on the compost heap.
And, no, houseflies and similar don't breed on that.


One get rats instead, according to what has been posted here?


The solution is to empty the bins more often than once a fortnight, but they
knew that when they stopped doing it.

You are absolutely right Martin, how stupid to leave a bin for 2
weeks, in Summer????? *What about young mothers and all those
disposable nappies, two weeks of disposable in the bin, I would think
we will end up with health problems before long.


Feel sorry for us the wheelie bin pick up point for the block is on the pavement
outside our house.. The guy who drives the thing that picks them up has smashed
trees, bins and the street sign.

I feel very sorry for you Martin G


I still live in hope of getting a new car out of the council one day
