Weekly or fortnightly, wheelie bins are better, and more hygenic than sacks, regardless of how often they're collected.

You should find out who your councillor is, and get them on to it.

Been there done that got the bloody Tshirt. Our set out is totally different than St. Pauls Rindi, its all flaged with some fencing, on Mallard its all grassed with nowhere really to put wheelie bins

Re: Weekly Bin Collections

i was told during my inquiries into the clinical waste fiasco that it was too expensive to return to weekly collections like others in the area have.

although i would welcome weekly collections back i can not see how cameron can justify spending this money when he is reducing councils budgets and forcing people out of work.I would rather see people keep their jobs as much as i would liek weekly collections back i cant see the justification

Why can't you have communal wheelie bins, like they have at the homes at St. Paul's?

Best thing ever, wheelie bins, for being dog, cat, fox proof, and for keeping smells under a lid.
near me the council give some households red sacks for extra waste but when i ring up asking about these mysterious red sacks all existence of them is denied.These households have wheeliebins etc and the red sacks/bags

from what i can see through them as they are opaque its just standard waste

Re: Weekly Bin Collections

Apart from agreeing with jaysay, I would prefer the recycling be collected weekly, after reviewing what we were binning 12 months ago my recycling is always full to bursting by collection day but wheelie isn't too.bad, I would love proper recyling containers that could be kept outside, my kitchen looks a blummin mess with all my recyling, anyone got any good outdoor containers they use instead of their kitchens?

Perhaps you get a red sack if you regularly dismember bodies.



Go and have a root when you next see one.

Re: Weekly Bin Collections

I didn't like the fortnightly collections at first, but have now got used to them, but I have heard on the grapevine that it is being discussed if it would be possible to introduce a food waste collection bin. This could have the possibility to be a bit pongy, especially if as garinda suggests you dismember bodies on a regular basis.

Sounds like stupidity by Officers that. I pay council tax and they gave me a bin and empty it.

I assume you pay council tax so they should give you a bin and empty it.

I dont see why it has anything to do with Hyndburn Homes at all.

Re: Weekly Bin Collections

On a personal level I'm happy with the fortnightly collection now, what with the recycling we sometimes go a month before putting the wheelie bin out, there is only two of us in the house tho

Re: Weekly Bin Collections

Before the announcement today, that despite all the cut backs the government are providing £250 million to aid a return to weekly collections, the government insisted earlier this year that there had been no increase in poor hygiene.

Today Eric Pickles was rattling on that the move is because of health issues.

I smell a rat, and it's not just because lardy Eric was sweating like a gerbil in Richard Gere's apartment, whilst interviewed on the news.

Re: Weekly Bin Collections

Pickles thinks this is a decision which matters more to the public than other services, such as looking after the vulnerable & the elderly!

If he's right then its a sad reflection on todays society! However i dont think he's right so its a sadder reflection of what this Government thinks will make it more popular!

Agreed.

From the people interviewed on the news, this isn't the (costly) vote winner they think it is.

Sure, folks grumbled when the present system was introduced, but most have got used to, and even prefer it.

As jobs and services are being slashed, the general public know where the 250 million quid could be much better spent.

Re: Weekly Bin Collections

Saw Pickles on the news, he mentioned the health part but his last reason supporting the weekly collection was that "people understand it"

Just how stupid does he think folk are ?
