Reporting back on my first b/bin. Unfortunately I forgot and missed the first collection day so I had the gunk saved for 3 weeks. There were some flies and I am sure I saw one wiggler in there. I keep the bin at the side of the house but its near the vent for the kitchen and the flies were getting into the kitchen. Wasn't happy at all with this. After the collection this week I noticed the bin was very wet inside but I'm sure I didn't put anything liquid in it, mainly egg shells, peelings, plate scrapings. I was concerned about raw meat trimmings sitting in there so long. I had lined the bottom with newspaper but it became wet and stuck. I'm guessing it was condensation as the gunk was probably heating up. Now I have to retrieve the wet newspaper and replace it with dry newspaper. It was such a relief to get rid of it as I was on tenterhooks waiting for the inevitable to happen. I think thar was life in them thar brown bins!! It seems quite a rip off to pay for a collection when the bin isn't even half full!
