    Had similar problem where the poor suckers on the EC, including myself, we’re left to put the bins out and bring them in each week. And as someone else did it, the other residents saw no need to actually place their rubbish into the bins, next to was enough because someone else did the bins. Nor did residents feel the need to wrap their rubbish because someone else did the bins. So we started up a bin roster. Each week a resident was responsible for taking the bins out and bringing them in. They could swap between themselves if their due date was not convenient. A reminder was left the day before for the resident due for duty that week. In our bylaws taken from the model bylaws said something like residents are responsible for the proper disposal of their waste and that bins had to be placed on the street. It didn’t say only one bin!
    This system worked well with only a few people forgetting their bin night ( they were reassigned the bin night of the person who did it for them which was of course a member of the EC).

    But now we pay someone for this work. And now the rubbish is being left and not being wrapped correctly. Because it is for someone else to do.
