You get a tradie in to fix or replace something, you ask (in advance) that they take all the old stuff away with them....and they agree.
Then you find that apparently this promise only applies to extremely large items. The rest has been jammed in your household waste wheelie bin on the tradie's way out Grrrrrrr. Or the alternative is...if the bits and pieces are not to be put on the recycle or garden waste bins then that's where they will be.
Is there a solution for this issue? I don't have any extra storage space (ie no shed or garage). I don't want to get in trouble with the council, and I'm not at all impressed to find my bin is already sometimes already more half full when I go to put rubbish in it.

No, he took away old items that were original to the house. Well some of them....just not all of them. ;-(

My mother does something I could never do, she says "I'll make you a cuppa while you pack all the rubbish into your truck", and "would like some biscuits, too?"
She always makes a "cuppa" for anyone doing any work, I sure the meter reader creeps in to avoid her, LOL.
