As wheelie bins become the preferred method of waste collection across the United Kingdom, wheelie bin thefts have also been on the rise.
Thefts have occurred for numerous reasons, from the obvious, for example, to replace lost or stolen bins, to be taken for an extra bin, and even to be used in criminal activity such as to store and transport stolen goods. There are many people who are finding different uses for the simple wheelie bin rather than just for waste collections, so it is important to protect your own bin from theft.
When it comes to protecting your wheelie bin from theft Local Council recommendations are a good place to start. Try following their advice such as not leaving bins out overnight instead putting your bins out on the morning of collection and taking them in as soon as possible after collection, and if possible storing wheelie bins at the side or back of your property out of view. But as we know this is not always practical or possible.
