Personally I hate seeing overflowing bins left out - if people have to have overflowing rubbish I would prefer it's in their own back garden not out on the street where everyone has to look at it. The thing with the lid not being totally down does seem a bit harsh but think about it - where are the bin men to draw the line between a lid not being down and an overflowing bin? It's the same thing actually. If they were to empty them there would be even more people taking the mick leaving out overflowing bins hoping it would be collected. And the rubbish does blow out and get everywhere littering the whole place and in no time at all the place looks like a tip.
I think the onus is on the bin owner to just have their rubbish in a bin with the lid down, it's not rocket science.

Common sense, perhaps? But our society has less and less use for that these days.where are the bin men to draw the line between a lid not being down and an overflowing bin?
They still call door to door every christmas with their hand out for their christmas dues.........needless to tell you what they`ll be gettin` this year!!
Our Dunlaoghaire Rathdown Co. Council bin collectors left all the bins in our area on the roadway today, some a couple of feet from the kerb. Too much trouble to put them neatly back on the footpath.
Never heard of this before?
For sure postmen in rural areas get some money at Christmas. And rightly so, there are no house numbers and they need to know the names of everyone as soon as they move in, a lot of houses will have names (like El Dorado and other stupid names) and also the postman needs to know the names of the children in the areas.
But why in city and the OP lives in Dublin?Sure the bin staff could be working different areas and schedules every week? They might only work the route over Christmas and they want money for this?
Rural workers yes if they work the route all year. City staff, no way!
1. Even more reason to empty it then.1.When the bins are left open even a little bit, the crows get in and drag all the rubbish all over the road.
2. Even if the bin is not overflowing, it is common sense to know to leave the lid down.
One bit of common sense does not trump another bit of common sense. All common sense is equal. So while your bit of common sense is valid, surely the binmen should use common sense in deciding if the lid of a bin is partly open, whether or not to take it? If they leave it, the crows are given more opportunity to get in. Or perhaps that's just what they want us to think. Damn evil crows.When the bins are left open even a little bit, the crows get in and drag all the rubbish all over the road. Even if the bin is not overflowing, it is common sense to know to leave the lid down.
