A friend lives on a tight bend in Byfleet, Surrey, a bus route through a
housing estate (where some people drive too fast anyway). There was a yellow
grit bin on the bend and he used to be the one to shovel the grit onto the
roads as he didn't want any more accidents outside his house. A few months
ago he noticed the bin was empty so rang the Council and asked that they
provide a top up. Some hours later a Council grab lorry arrived so he went
outside to find them lifting the bin which they then carted away despite his
protestations, they then also took away the one further down the road.
The logic escapes me.

Similar to my daughter complaining about yobs making a noise at a bus shelter
late at night. The bus shelter was removed.

Probably an E£x milkman who had been taught always to pick up the
empties.
