Anyone else watching this?
I don't think I've laughed at a documentary so much as the woman who suggested that the wheelie bins could be used for criminals to hide in and jump out of!
Complaining about the bins ruining the aesthetic, but not worrying about all the cars that are doing the same damn thing!
I'm loving the composting fantasist too! He's completely disturbing? Does he have nothing better to do?

Love to know if people applied to be on this.
Supermarkets do try but as per usual idiots complain!
By the look of it, no. You'd really want to live next door to him wouldn't you?
That woman was just absurd. Potentially, of course, a good reason to make the bins half the size, reducing the criminal element to those suffering from dwarfism.
The busybody just wants to stop anything that upsets his world. He's quite responsible in how he deals with his refuse, but can't see how irresponsible many others are, and that without coercion they won't give a damn.
I've seen criminals hide in wheelie bins on the Cops with cameras type shows.
Although I thought the blond lad in the back was good looking (not in a gay way).
Did they jump out of them? You ever got in one and tried to get out one? I assure you its not easy!!!
Pretty much impossible to prove who dumped it isn't it?
He was trying to hide from the police who were chasing him. He got caught and had to be helped out. He wasn't too bright.
We have cars parked halfway over a small pavement and a wheelie bin taking over the other half around the back of me. In fact the car can't take up more pavement or it would hit the wheelie bin.
Now you might think that our council would come down on them like a ton of bricks and clear the way for the rightful use of the pedestrian. - How wrong you would be!
What an idiot that guy was driving around to look for bins so he could be offended by their appearance.
And if that other guy recycles and composts most of his waste why does he have a problem with smaller bins?
So the sense there would be to drill a hole in the lid of your wheelie bin and fit a padlock but then they would do you for criminal damage.
It officially called The Meldrew effect.
No, but not the point really. Usually you don't have to prove your innocence but someone needs to prove your guilt. There are plenty of people who will put their rubbish in your bin and others who will kick bags around the street.
The bloke on the programme said he didn't do it. No idea if he did or not but he gets the fine regardless.
Too right.
Theres actually some valid points that could be raised in a docu about the bins and recycling.
Unfortunately... C4 decided to get freaks and wierdos for this programme.
Mr "Half Size Wheelie Bin" is proper hat-stand. He seems to think he used to work for MI6.
He doesn't post on here does he?
It's sad and ridiculous that she is being bullied because her father is binman (driver).
They are just using it as an excuse to bully her.
That's officially called The Big Brother effect.
It is ridiculous isn't it. Even though he's the driver, whether he's handling the rubbish or not, I'd give them kudos for doing that job.
Pity he didn't tell her to say 'Yeah and so what?'.
That was the problem. Any serious issues were lost with the people they used. They must have done that deliberately. Even the council bloke was a bit like it.
"Oh, we haven't got time for that, much too busy."
If your Council Office bins are visible, take a peek inside, chances are they don't recycle either.
Far easier to boss us the tax payer, about. Creates another few jobs for us to pay for also.
