We have a bin roster in our complex for the shared bins. We never used to. It used to be the good old volunteers on the EC that made sure the bins went out week after week. And because this, like so many things, was considered someone elses problem/responsibility by the residents in this complex, they started to dump bags of rubbish in the bin area, dump cardboard boxes on top of empty recycling bins and not even bother to wrap or contain rubbish placed in the bins, including used nappies which lead to human waste matter in through the bins. And with that came the maggots (the bins are in the open, exposed the weather and hot blazing sun) But who cared, after all, the garbage bin fairy took care of all that.
Then we introduced the bin roster. Now the bin area was the responsibility of everybody. Including the cleaning up, putting away, inhaling etc. All of a sudden, everything went into bins, rubbish was wrapped, cardboard boxes were dismantled and folded. The bin area (which everyone has to walk/drive past everyday and a number of residences have to look over) was tidy
We had thought of employing someone to take the bins out. But we fear the problem would resurface as again it would be someone elses problem. We do get the bins professionally cleaned throughout the year but bins are not as gross as they once were when unwrapped unhygienic rubbish was placed in and around there.
There are a couple of residents who are not physically able to take all the bins out for the complex. But the bin angels still exist to help those who can't do it themselves.
