Lol every week without fail, the men use my recycling bin lid as a frisbee and it ends up across the street or down the hill or under a parked car thirty feet away. Tempted to just let my recycling get wet from the rain or blown away with the wind.

I tried that with zip ties..it broke off and the lid disappeared from existence.

At least they didn’t toss your bin back towards your house and put a nice little dent in the hood of your car. Lazy fucks.

Bagged trash raw-dogging the sidewalk is the worst though, cause raccoons and squirrels dig holes into them and then garbage gets onto the street. Cans are better, even though they get thrown around..

Amazingly, my lid lasted 2.5 years before getting destroyed after they flung it into the street. (Or maybe they flung it onto the sidewalk and the wind then blew it into the street...same outcome). And that was after being run over twice.

Never thought of zip-tying it to the bin like people mentioned. I'll try that if I ever get my hands on another lid...

I've stopped caring about wet garbage. If the garbage men are careless with the lids, let em deal with the water.
