The more I travel to other countries, the more it appears to me that a lot of us Irish are dirty b#%^ds. Every other jurisdiction can have bins in public areas without some chances deciding he can bin his household rubbish in it and save himself a few bob on his own bin. That just doesn’t seem to happen elsewhere. Therefore the councils decide, rightly or wrongly, to remove the bins to prevent abuse. I’m really forming the opinion that it is an Irish problem
Sorry to disagree about this being an Irish problem this just shows what we have here in Somerset, you only have to read the headline and the fine figure.

I find it strange (but I suppose expected) that the motorhomes are being blamed is there any proof, in places of high tourist usage (we often see the massive wheelie bins as used for large blocks of flats) and that is just places that don't allow overnight stops (well they are almost non existent in England
In the village where I live its now hard to find a bin and it is spoiling the place again collection has been outsourced.
At home we have to fully sort all our house waste with separate bins each for plastics, paper, tin, cardboard and drinks cartons, glass bottles & jars, batteries and small electrical goods, textile including shoes and clothes these are all to be placed separate in green boxes collected every week, a normal grey bin for the rest and we had the choice of buying another bin for garden waste these two collected every two weeks. The good news is that the council is constantly in the top 3 in the UK for recycling waste which makes it all worthwhile.
Education is what is needed in case you are wondering if our bins are checked by the collection agents they are and if they are not happy or if you overload they don't take and leave a warning notice about the consequences if you continue to abuse.
It must work
