Bin Jumping?

wexie · 13-09-2012 5:23pm #1

Anyone else that dons the aul wellies on the night before bin day just to get that last bag in?

Any funny stories?

One of my cousins once broke a leg when he fell out of the bin. Took quite a while for him to admit how it happened though.

Wha?

I don't think I've heard had a problem getting a bag into a bin. Even if I did, just leave it by the bins in the morning when they're pulled out to the path.

I thought this was what God invented fat kids for. Especially agile fat kids with big feet. Every home should have one.

Hmm. Wellies no, never occured to me. Though was coaxed by two housemates with a particularly full recycle bin, into hopping off the wall into the bin, the feckers were supposed to hold the damn thing steady, toppled, they jumped backwards, landed on the bonnet of my housemate's car, no damage

Often hop in skips and the like, it's not to fit more rubbish in or anything, I just love stamping on the homeless.

You sir have just insulted the section of the community with the most guns and challenged their manhoods. Farmers rise up!

Shoot straight? When was the last time you saw a dangerous animal like a lion or a bear in the wilds of Ireland, we spud munchers don't miss.

Yeah, they're like St Patrick with the snakes, not alone got rid of them, got rid of all trace of their skeletons, their fossils and any form of habitat they might have lived in. Thorough crowd, them culchies.

Exactly right, sure wasn't Paddy a farmer himself for a while.

Once fell over the high fence i was using to balance and straight down into the neighbours garden whilst stomping the bags in.
Awkward knocking on the neighbours back door......

My mum decided to climb into the recycling bin one day and pulled the bin over to a low wall that has the grass pretty much level to it behind the wall. She fell out of the bin but luckily fell onto the grass.

We gave her a severe slagging but also gave out to her and told her not to do it again coz she has a balance problem and could do terrible damage if she fell forward.

She now gets my youngest to do it for her.

on a serious note(for information purposes)

i wouldn't recommend anyone compact a wheelie bin with wellies

Why not? (aside from the obvious falling out of the bin danger)

50 quid for two lengths of metal and a hinge? You must have REALLY made it...

Those crushers are handy, but they can compact the bin too much and then the sodding thing won't empty fully and your left with half a full bin after paying for a bin ticket.

Can this be the next thing banned?

Have done it, but you're better off crushing things before they go in the wheelie bin

he grew shamrock and sold it to the Yanks apparently. First trans-atlantic entreprenuer exporter. Great lad, a saint he was.

To the person who asked Why jump on the bin...

Pay by weight area? No point jumping on bin.

Pay by Lift area? If I can squish two more bags in there thats 2 less tags I need to buy for the overflow. In our case thats 12 euro a week.....times 52 weeks = I don't care who laughs when they see my head bouncing up and down behind the hedge
