A council spokesperson added: “If your bin has blown over due to bad weather, it’s your responsibility to pick it up.
“Please make sure that your bins are as secure as they can be, especially during high winds.
“If your bin has just been emptied it’s more likely to tip, consider whether you need to move it to a place where it’s less likely to be blown over or get damaged.”
