During the first month or so I did try to rationalise it: Knox (Boronia) has a glut of blocks building 5 or more two bedroom, 1 garage townhouses, and most have no outdoor space (it got used by the obligatory water tank and shed/box.)
With no backyard to mow, they didn’t have or need a green waste bin, but this year they’ve had to take one, and there’s nowhere to put it. To make things worse, the waste bin is now a fortnightly pickup, and anyone with a pet now has two weeks of ripeness instead of one.
