I went out of the back door last night to go to the bin and the drive was alive with maggots, and I mean alive! Likewise the wheelie bin that holds the compostable materials. I can only assume that was their starting point. Another week until that gets emptied and I scrubbed it clean a week ago. This morning they have all gone, a couple of stragglers in the bin but all gone! So the question is where have that many maggots gone? Reply to this message | Report message

Eaten. Or in hiding. Reply to this message | Report message

Turned into flies, hiding, so that they can mob you at the least convenient moment. Reply to this message | Report message

>>So the question is where have that many maggots gone? Returned to their respective LimpDem constituencies, I should imagine. Reply to this message | Report message       3

I didn't think maggots just decide to go crawling about out in the open? In my experience they stay in seething masses on whatever they are eating, close to where they hatched, until ready to turn into flies. I'd guess that someone upended the bin and tipped them out.

Nope. No movement of the bin. Reply to this message | Report message

The only explanation then is some supernatural agency. Are you sure all your professional contacts have always been kosher Fc? Did the maggots make a sort of B-movie seething noise? That's a sure sign. I'm sure everyone will pray for you, just in case. :o} Reply to this message | Report message

I'd guess Norton is right, they were eaten. As to where they came from, somebody (or perhaps an animal) must have upended a chunk from the bin, surely? Reply to this message | Report message

Your attempt at emulating Fred West has been scuppered due to your inability to bury the body deep enough. Reply to this message | Report message       1

00.20. Just got home from a night out. There are few crawling around the drive, some have been suitably dispatched under foot. The bin has not been upended by animal or human. I can only assume its crawling under the surface. Reply to this message | Report message

>> 00.20. Just got home from a night out. There are few crawling around the drive, >> I think that's one of the signs. The subject is convinced there are moths fluttering round his head, bats in his hair, spiders with red staring eyes advancing across his bed-spread. He flails horror-struck at the attackers, cries out in terror, but when his despairing family appear and turn the lights on, there is nothing there. The maggots have vanished. Until next time.

Can dead wildlife be put in black bins? I can't find any guidance my council website. Reply to this message | Report message

>>Can dead wildlife be put in black bins? I think that's going a bit far. He's only seeing ghost maggots, he's not actually dead. Reply to this message | Report message

OK but can such as dead birds go in? Now found some more info. Dog faeces and cat litter can go in and I suppose discarded meat always has been. Animals are not listed under Hazardous Waste, which is mostly concerned with chemical products. Reply to this message | Report message

Well for Cherwell there is nothing saying that they can't go in. And it says that uncooked meat may go in. So I would assume so. Probably better to seek forgiveness rather than permission. Reply to this message | Report message

I was thinking more of lien vs line, but I'm drawing a blank. Too much brain-sapping plonk last night, I suspect. Reply to this message | Report message
