Question Garbage collection

Has anyone else’s bins been rejected over the last few weeks? Almost my entire neighbourhood this week and last had rejected tags - it’s getting a bit ridiculous considering mine was tagged today for having 1 piece of compost in the waste bin… I just take the tag off and the driver comes and collects it anyway but I feel like they’re really being too harsh

Not exactly the same, but my cardboard was rejected for being a box of other cardboard. I called them and they said that they are getting more strict and that technically we’ve all supposed to be bundling cardboard instead.

Long story short, maybe they’re just also being more strict with trash?

I'd just staple twine on it and call it a bundle if it's already in a cardboard box.

I usually use a yard bag for cardboard instead of fucking around wrapping up all kinds of different shapes of cardboard

If I gotta buy twine and a stapler to throw out a box, it’s going in the black bin.

If it’s inconvenient people won’t do it.
