You would be required to keep your bin at the rear of the property or in any side alley. On rubbish collection day you would be required to take the bin from the rear of the property or any side alley to the front of the building for it to be empted. When you return home at night you would be required to take the bin from the front of the building back to the rear of the building, or any side alley. Easy.

I would like to point out these two old pictures from Steve Grindley's Flickr site.

Note: No rubbish bins, ethier council or domestic are to be seen and look how clean the streets are....WOW !! Much better times indeed.
It was done then and it can be done again.
