Chametz in Wheelie Bin

Hi Rabbi Simon
Is it a problem to leave chametz in the wheelie bins before Pesach since the bins will only be collected once Pesach has begun?
Binyamin

Hi Binyamin
Since the bins are the property of the Council, once you put chametz there it can be considered out of your possession. However, Barnet Council is also providing a special chametz collection service this coming Monday erev Pesach. See this link. It is good to make use of this service for maximum convenience.
I hope this is helpful. Have a kosher and joyous Pesach!

Ask the Rabbi: Quinoa on Pesach
Dear Rabbi Simon,
Where do you stand on quinoa (and the kitniyot ban) for Pesach?
Many thanks,
Tzippy

Dear Tzippy,
In line with other American authorities, I am in favour of quinoa. Although I reject completely the voices (mostly from Israel) seeking to abolish the ban on kitniyot entirely, IMO we do not need to include in the prohibition pseudo-grains that were unknown in the Old World until modern times. Best to buy with a Pesach hechsher though, to be free of any possible wheat contamination.
