Bin company emptying bins at 9pm

paddyirish23

Hi all I'm a dad of an 11 month old and every Tuesday evening clean Ireland feel the need to come around between 8.30 and 9.30 at night to empty the bins in my estate. Surely there is some law that restricts this happening in a residential neighbourhood as my child wakes every bloody time they arrive. I know it's a stupid thing but when he is up loads with teething this is the straw that is breaking the camels back for me! Any ideas?

Check the bye-laws for your local council, they should be available through their website.

No idea, but the friggin ice cream van that comes round our estate at 8.30pm playing Yankee Doodle Dandee is in for a tyre slashing if he doesn't pi$$ off soon.

Our bins are emptied at exactly 4:30am.
It always wakes me. I don't think much can be done about it tbh.
Edit to add: I think it's such a rotten job that i wouldn't say anything . Just glad I'm inside and not on the bins myself.

The generally excepted cutoff time is 10PM as far as I know. I'm not sure where I got that from but I have something in my head from many years ago about 10PM for noise.

It can't be that big a deal, they only come twice a month, and your kid will only be teething for a few months Isn't it great when life is that good that things like that upset you

Rather 9pm than 8:15 in the middle of my town when I am trying to get to work. Not helpful, I know. It's just my personal bugbear.

If you know the times and day why don't u set either white noise or lullabies to play at those times? And try not to become stressed thinking about it, kids feed off it!

I get up when I want except on Wednesdays
When I get rudely awakened by the dustmen

I put my trousers on, have a cup of tea
And I think about leaving the house

That is a ludicrous time to collect rubbish. Between 7am and 4pm is acceptable for this.

I can completely understand your frustration.

5.30/6.00 am is the time my neighbours bins are collected. Nearly always wakes my terrible sleeper. Lately we have been able to get him back asleep. drives me up the wall as its not even our bins. They are collected 12-1pm (nap time) 😠

White noise.

We have kids playing on the road until 10pm most nights. It's a quiet cul de sac so all the parents and kids know each other. Like a fricken block party every night lol. But yeah. White noise helps.

Ive a 9 month old who doesn't sleep longer than 2 hrs at a time and will use any excuse to be awake! If it works here it'll work anywhere.

Unfortunately 9pm is an acceptable time. Anything up until 10pm is accepted.
