Sounds like you had a crazy day. I had a silly "Jobsworth" episode with the binmen (private company) last week.
Our bins at the pub get emptied every Tuesday. Last week we had a excessive amount of waste, so there were a lot of black bags piled up next to the bins. When the bin men came to empty the bins, i wanted to throw the extra bags into the wagon myself. Unfortunately i was informed that all rubbish must be in a bin. The driver could clearly see that this was not possible as both bins were full to the top. As a compromise, i asked if i could put the extra bags into the now empty bin, then he could empty the bin once more. This is not allowed either, due to the fact that he can only empty each bin once every week. The whole thing could have been done, & nobody would have known anything about it. Instead i had to throw the bags into the bin as he drove off (no doubt laughing), meaning that this week i was in the same situation.
The bins got emptied again yesterday & guess what happened..............
Exactly the same.
I could understand if it was the council removing the rubbish, but it's a private company.
