The paper isn't in my wheelie bin. The wheelie bin was emptied as normal this week and one day later last week due to the Christmas period. My blue box and my blue bag were emptied last week as they should have been but the white sack containing papers for recycling was not emptied. This has remained outside my garden wall (as per council instructions) ever since then and been rained on so much that the paper inside is now a total sodden mess. Each day the council have informed me that without fail that day it would be dealt with. We have been away from home yesterday and today, just got back tonight and wonder of wonders the wretched thing is still there.

Neighbours across the road have the orange sacks like yours A-b due to various objections by the bin men to going down the back street there. I saw bags of various colours piled at the kerbside on Wednesday and I'm sure they were all collected. How come they'll do it in one area and not another? It wouldn't be so bad if they were at least consistent.
