Make sure your wheelie bin is safe.

People often forget that many wheelie bins find strong winds scary.

Bin owners will often see their bins struggling, either frozen with fear or diving onto the floor or, in the most dangerous circumstances, bolting, rearing up or jumping over walls and fences.

To keep your wheelie bin safe, follow these tips:

  • Provide hiding places for wheelie bins in your home .e.g. under furniture or a quiet corner.

  • Don't stress your wheelie bins by trying to tempt them out. Leave then until they're ready.

  • Make sure to keep your wheelie bin inside, somewhere warm, to avoid them becoming stressed.

Thought and prayers, mate.

Do you need a cushion to kneel to for the prayers? We've suddenly got a spare.
