Bin in trouble

You may find this surprising but we often get people going through the bins, they literally empty the contents, sometimes on a Monday we can’t open the fire exit which is very dangerous! I’ve caught them a few times, and told the police. Although once a police officer did approach me and ask if she could take a damaged ‘Lost the TV series – story book’ out of the bin I said yes in case she arrested me for saying no.

There have been times people have been found sleeping in the bins in fact once I heard 3 men were in one bin! Ive never had that though thankfully. I used to find lambrini bottles outside the back door like they were a gift, but always empty which was disappointing I don’t mind lambrini. Saying that I’ve been finding brandy bottles at my home in the back garden on my lavender plant and its quite a nice estate I can’t think who would drink Brandy and then throw the bottle in my garden!

I took a photo to give you an idea of what can greet me on a Monday morning, this is actually a good day it can be much worse than this!

For some reason we get a lot of knives donated, although once we had some guns- they were old ones and were just left in a brown paper Primark bag near the till, obviously I took them straight to the police station. I wrap the knives up in bubble wrap and hand them into the police too. These things are part of the job ... you just never know what to expect!
