Just come home and cut through a few back allies, (safest way for me to travel, someone otherwise might recognise me), even when the bin men do collect, they will suffer delays the back streets are jammed tight with excess rubbish that folk can't deal with, each wagon will end up having to make extra trips to the tip as they plough their way through, no matter what or when has been promised, expect them to be slow to catch up.

I think perhaps next year the Council should consider that paying these guy's a little extra to give us as near a normal service as possible, could work out cheaper than pretending Christmas comes in Summer, not at a time Winter can throw it's worst at us.

They did do an extra collection of household waste down my road on Tuesday. Luckily, had left the grey bin out at the edge of my lawn .. had been 5 weeks... didn't miss a recyling collection though. Unfortunately, put any excess bags in the green bin for safe keeping ... did hear them, but was nicely tucked up under my duvet .. no way was I trotting out in me pyjamas !

The notice, however, was not on there until 11 o'clock Tuesday ... too late for me.

See they have issued a new statement and guidelines:

The streets around here haven't had their wheelie bins emptied, as they should have been on Monday, a day when 'normal service' was apparently resumed.

After they didn't come the week after Christmas I played safe, fearing they wouldn't be emptied again, and didn't put mine out.

Not a luxury for those with familes, as their overspilling bins, littering the streets, testify to.

I think we've had ours emptied.
Recycling definitely came last week.

yup my garden is littered with other peoples rubbish as are other peoples gardens littered with mine because we put them out when told services would resume

cant blame our council leader for this mess though he was away on holiday when things went bad so who ever was sailing the h.m.s HBC while he was away literally ran us into an iceberg and left us sinking in sh1t

he was in such a hurry to get out of here for xmas the speed camera near his house picked him up loading up his luggage

or the realistic version where a frind of mine rang his home to see what was going on and was informed he was on holiday

I doubt councillors are responsible for ordering where and when bin collections should be anyway. They should be there to find out who is/what is going on though.

accyman · 14-01-2010, 18:42

whoever caused this cock up shoudl be put in teh stocks in huncoat and us be allowed to throw our rubbish at them.

obviously for health and safety reasons if somone is throwing a wardrobe away it is only common sense that two people be lifiting it when it is thrown

Them ruddy recyling people have just been ........i put blue box out, blue sack out, and white sack out...........just been to bring them in and there is NO white sack and 2 blue boxs.
so now i dont have a white sack

cant they do anything right
its easy to empty 2 sacks and 1 box that has the address on and put it back in the right place

Well next time they are round they will find 2 blue sacks put out and if they complain they will get told why

Sounds like someone needs to empty his own sack and chill out

They say we've got to put things in the right container, say nothing about what you're gonna get back, just be thankful they didn't leave you with nothing

The bin men came on to our estate yesterday and only emptied the bins that didn't need effort to get them to the bin wagon. Any that needed to be pulled along any snow were left.

But they did empty the old dears from next door who needs assistance with hers. They pulled the bin all the way down her driveway and back over the snow, so why empty hers and not the others that didn't need to be pulled as far as they were all near the pavement edge.

That now leaves a number of bins on the estate which are overflowing and won't be emptied for another two week, we've even still got all the paper and cardboard from Christmas day in the utility room that's waiting for a collection.
