Does anyone know why these bins have disappeared?

Thank goodness they have gone. I live near by and some of the flytipping has been awful. Besides general household rubbish that people cannot be bothered to take to Rose Hill, people have fly tipped all kinds of furniture, soiled bedclothes and dirty nappies, used car batteries, garden rubbish including old fences, old carpets, wall paper, paint tins (on one occasion a partial full paint tin was dumped in the paper recycle bin and caused £s worth of damage at the recycle plant). In addition to thoughtless people, various businesses have fly tipped building rubble, domestic insulation, empty cans and boxes from food shops, plastic wrapping and soiled plastic sheeting, and removed broken bathroom fittings. In addition, at various times in the recent past there have been incidents of arson as kids set fire to the bins, vandalism as kids have pulled the bins across the car park into parked cars, and broken glass scattered over the car park and Lyndhurst Avenue.

Sainsburys still have recycling bins. Happy to help :)

Thank you Alastair, much appreciated.

You can request additional bins from the council, you need to fill in a "waste diary" and if it ticks the boxes you get an extra bin of the colour requested. Hopefully it won't be too long before Stockport introduces "Smart collection" where the bin sends a notification to be collected when full/weight is reached.
