anyone know how to get in touch with teh bin men over teh holidays
 

yet again hyndburns finest have done a half arsed job of collecting teh bins and neglected to empty some peoples yet done the rest of teh streets bins

you cant ring up because teh council offices are closed until january teh 4th but rest assured they will be around sharpish with threats of fines for binbags put outside

so if anyone knows the number of the bin waggon yard so we can ring up and bend their ear it would be appreciated

Mine was supposed to be emptied today, but I've never heard the wagon, so think they've missed us too.:(

Re: anyone know how to get in touch with teh bin men over teh holidays
 

Probably because they know tehy can do a half arsed job because theres no one to ring up and complain to

The cardboard collection didn't happen for me last Tuesday.

Re: anyone know how to get in touch with teh bin men over teh holidays
 

well luckily i just had a thought that i have a green wheelie bin as well so im gonna fill that rather than have to leave out extra binbags for other peoples filthy pets to rip apart for the next week until the council reopen

pitty anyone whos stuck without the extra green bin though especially at xmas time when you would expect more than any other time of the year for the council to get it right:rolleyes:

it is good to know though that when you do ring teh council 388111 they have provided a recorded message which covers all really important issues liek how to recycle xmas cards and where you can pay youir council tax bill while they are shut :rolleyes:

Re: anyone know how to get in touch with teh bin men over teh holidays
 

No, just checked and my wheelie bin, or anyone elses around here, hasn't been emptied.

Rather makes a mockery of the details regarding collections the council placed in the press, which clearly stated today's would be a normal collection.

Perhaps it's because of the extreme weather...as it was a little misty first thing this morning.

We should have had the recycling collection last thursday, but didn't turn up

Re: anyone know how to get in touch with teh bin men over teh holidays
 

nah just laziness they emptied most of the bins on my street i bet they get to finish early either because its xmas period or simply because theres no one to check on them so they do a rush job and either miss the odd bin or skip entire streets.We live in the same vacinity and have the same pickup day yet they managed to do bins near me yet skipped your street

seems somone was in a rush rather than couldnt get to us but i agree that slight mist could prove difficult for a big heavy bin waggon to navigate lol :rolleyes:

You need a calendar.

A calendar with all the names and addresses of your councillors on it.

Perhaps there's the address of an emergency tip up the New Lane area, over the holiday period.

:D

Miserable moaners the lot of you, my bin hasn't been emptied in ages, but that's because I'm never up in time!

Even the Bin-men deserve time off, though it might just be they've been doing double shift's gritting the roads just for your benefit!

Re: anyone know how to get in touch with teh bin men over teh holidays
 

i betthey didnt forget his bin lol

Re: anyone know how to get in touch with teh bin men over teh holidays
 

Quite right they deserve time off, but then again we were informed by the council that they'd be working normally today, no mention off any holiday.

Re: anyone know how to get in touch with teh bin men over teh holidays
 

If you do take advantage of the emergenct tip, please don't forget to recycle.

Normal household waste in the empty wheelie bin, everything to be recycled to go through the letter box.

;)

Re: anyone know how to get in touch with teh bin men over teh holidays
 

totaly different department and i bet those working extra are getting paid very well for working extra shifts infact you wouldnt realise they had even worked half a shift yet alone double shifts with teh poor amount of areas that actually got a dose of grit when it was needed :rolleyes:

also if you take a job that sates you work over xmas then you do it just like teh police and other services have to.

yes i am a miserable ****** lol but seen as they can fine you £1000 for littering if you put rubbish out early or because your bin is full you cant really blame people for expecting rubbish to be collected when they say it will be:)
