Bins not been emptied for 4 weeks, this lot was left still full.....

I understand that bins which are overfilled so that lids wont shut, don't get emptied

Everything gets seperated on here........all the bins we have were stuffed full with bottles and cans and everything else which we recycle, there was also carry bags full on the floor, they were all taken...except for the ones I took the pics of.

Question about your re-cycling schemes .......where do you put the stuff , in the front of your houses or in the back streets ?, can understand semis and detached houses with gardens and no 'back alleys' using the front, but dont the bin wagons still come down the backs behind terraced streets ?
thanks

NO in terraced they come to front cos the wagons too bloody big fer the backs, meaning ya have to carry a soggy bag o cans n box of bottles through yer house dripping oer the carpets, then they wonder why folk cannot be bothered to vote.

You think you have problems - I have to cart all my waste through my flat, down a flight of 13 steps before I even reach the bin

The bins then have to be wheeled to the car park at the end of the block.

Easy to understand now why folks complain about the streets looking a mess .
Its not like back streets are unique to Accrington so you'd think someone with half a brain would be able to design 'smaller' re-cycle/bin wagons capable of ftting down them ........wait a minute ...didn't the bin wagons once fit down (95%) of all back streets.

yeh bin wagon still gets down the backs "just" but apparently the recycle wagon is too big.

Where I live we have communial bin area, for 12 flats.....but there are 24 flats on the court and sometimes we get the others using our bin area, which really annoys me ( not what I wanted to say, but I think I would get a slap next time mick sees me ).....so in effect I'm not cleaning up my rubbish but everyone elses', now do you see why I am so hacked off
