We haven't got em yet round here, then again, we don't have wheelie bins or green bins for garden stuff either. Looks like Peel is the poor relation.

You shouldn't have a problem with cats licking the tins coz the tins should be washed out before they are put in the box.

Bin men don't work on the Bank Holiday and all the collections are Moved forward by one day, meaning that they work on the Saturday. I assume that having to work a Saturday means that they are paid overtime. Hardly any wonder that refuse collection is such an expensive business these days. I also note that at the council tip on Whinney Hill is operated through the winter on summer hours. Who wants to go to the tip in the dark? Also, why do we have to accomodate rubbish from Liverpool, Manchester, Wigan and Burnley?

hehe! funnily enough it does up here too!

Just stating that as my box is on bricks it is not being picked up out of a puddle of rain water on a rainy morning.

I agree that does read very bad (sexist) sorry Ladies I was trying to be funny at that time.
May be it would have been better placed in Aggravating things about Women... thread. Even there I suppose it would be offencive.

Don't worry Lettie - had a leaflet through the door this week advising that we will have our grey wheelie bins for September! I'm not looking forward to it though - I have a couple of steps to my back gate & think I'm gonna struggle lifting the bin to put out the back.

I think they are going to be collecting plastic from us (and cardboard?) but we do seem to be the last ward to get the grey bins - so we won't be doing that til next year!

I really think that recycling is a good idea - but is the council demanding that local businesses do the same with the rubbish as the residents? Obviously businesses will create more waste paper - do they have to recycle? I work locally and haven't seen any changes in the what we are allowed to put into the bins!

I do the recycling thing..very hip I know

Its different in some areas on how much they are given- boxes,bins and bags. I say email the council site and get it all! Well if u need it- except for the green bins cos not everyone has a garden eh. I can see how the space thing could be a problem. I think the bags are over sized seeing as they come every other week. Im sure it could of been designed better because I bet it puts a lot of people of with all the different bags etc and the different days for different things. I feel sorry for some of the people- say the elderly who cant wheel there bins up to the path each week/other week- I think that needs to be looked at again maybe.
