To think the summary of your lifestyle, contained for the world in three Wheely Bins.
I forgot to answer the question. I doubt anybody gets any info from my bins, they are not emptied by a dustman but by a hydraulic thing on the side of the truck, so no-one sorts individual bins.
Any documents with private info on it I shred before they go in the recycle bin (not that there are many anyway) and I don't use a flybuys card.
As far as I know no one has sorted through my bins when they are standing outside my house and once in the truck they are mixed with everybody's rubbish. I think that there would be slim picking from my rubbish but anybody that wants it can have it.
