We used to visit the site often once the house was demolished and site was cleared but then soon gave up once we realised nothing was happening any time soon. The grass/weeds are filling up the plot again. It's been nearly 2 months since demo.
Just tell council someone stole your bin and you want a new one. That has worked for us, at no cost. Our was stolen by the garbage truck. Apparently that can happen, that it gets stuck or gets thrown into the truck. Bye bye garbage bin!
