A local Brisbane street collective has launched a thorough investigation into which resident put their yellow recycling bin on the kerb on a non-recycling collection week.
The Froome Street Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has begun gathering evidence and interviewing residents, in order to identify the culprit, who’s actions sparked a chain reaction of yellow bins being dragged out onto the kerb only to be dragged back in, still half-full, the next day.
In the midst of the confusion, landlines were running hot up and down Froome Street, as residents were unsure wether to trust their neighbours, or trust their own internal calendars.
“The yellow bin was only half-full” said Troy Reynolds at number 52. “In hindsight, something definitely didn’t feel right. It was too soon”.
Geraldine Keogh, number 33 and who is heading the inquiry, said that even though she prides herself on her punctuality, she wasn’t ready to risk missing a week. “I put the black one out, and noticed that it was an even fifty-fifty of people who’d also put out the yellow bin, to those who hadn’t”.
“I called Sandra next door and then Peter on the other side and then popped over to speak to the young couple across the road” admitted Mrs Keogh. “None of them could provide a definitive answer, although they all decided that they would probably just put theirs out anyway”.
“I don’t want to point any fingers, though I am a little bit suspicious of that young couple. I don’t much trust young people”.
More updates as they come to hand.
