Will I be fined for taking the bin out the morning before?

I live in a houseshare and the bin is rarely taken out unless I do it. Our bin day is Friday and I often stay at my partner's on a Thursday because we attend a hobby club.

A lot of the times I've done this, I come home the next day and the bin was never taken, and as we all know the binmen won't take bin bags not left in the bin.

The only solution I can think of is leaving it out Thursday morning before I leave for work. I've tried reminding people but they still don't do it. Then I cant deal with the anxiety of knowing the bin probably isnt out and we"ll be stuck with a full bin for a week.

Has anyone ever been fined for taking a bin out early?
