Re: fly tipping promoted by HBC
[QUOTE=park381]Yes it is, thats Hyndburn we're talkin about, they also have a special collection service for all those things you can't get in the wheelie bin, cookers, fridges, freezers(note these now need de-gassing before disposal)furniture etc. May be the collection service takes anything up to 14 days to activate or collect, but they do collect...........sooner or later ;)[/QUOTE
yeah but if you put a black binliner full of waste food etc next to your wheelie bin they will empty the wheelie bin and leave the black bag for the rats and cats to play with the only difference between the rubbish in the wheelie bin and the rubbish next to it is that 1 black bag is not in the wheelie bin but the rest are the whole thing seems very petty on the councils part i even offered ro buy my own second wheelie bin and they said the would also refuse to empty that as well i dont know what area you live in but my area has become a lot dirtier since wheelie bins came to be because the council leave peoples bags on the back alleys and the wind blows it all overthe street front which means they have to come and clean it up seems to be much simpler and cheaper to take all the rubbish no natter what its in no wonder our council tax bill is so high because they have to do the same job twice just my 2 cents |

Re: fly tipping promoted by HBC
I spend quite a bit of time in Australia and they have the same rules and regulations over there......such as, if the lid of the wheelie bin is not closed properly it isn't emptied....deemed as overfull. They recycle too and the garbage guys are just asawkward over there... if anything is in the wrong coloured bin it doesn't get emptied and then if you take the stuff that the binmen didn't collect to the tip yourself you are charged $10(about £4). It isnt as if the binmen over there have any lifting to do at all, it is all automated and there are marks outside the houses where the bins must be placed or the wagon will not pick them up. This is in Melbourne, I don't know if it is the same in other parts. It does seem to be a universal gripe.

Re: fly tipping promoted by HBC
Seems that way, we all have a problem with "household waste" and the recycle bit. But why are Manchester and other areas tipping at Whinney Hill, are all their "big holes" full.
The sooner they fill in Whinney Hill, the sooner they'll build houses on it. More CT for HBC ;) |

only HBC could sell a hole full of crap other departments are or have been taken over by private companies so eventualy instead of having a workforce HBC will be paying a company to do the work like repairs to council houses which i can see forcing our council tax bills even higher |

On the repairs to council houses, a private company would do repairs cheaper than HBC.............not as many "deadlegs"........sorry I meant "overheads":cool: |

they have to keep the current wage levels , so this means they cant pay minimum wage like other private companys did the companys the councli lost tenders to in the past paid minimum wages , no full paid sick pay , no holiday pay as they usualy employed people on a self employed basis and other ways of keping costs down now hynburn council have probably sold these departments with a contract stating that the counclil must continue to use the people who buy out these departments so that they dont just sell the departments and go to the previously mentioned cheaper companies who pay minimum wages etc either way we all loose apart from the councilor who decides which company takes over as he or she will probably recieve a nice backhander from the winning buyer unless we actualy have honest councilors/polititians LMAO |

Your other point regarding the transfer of staff with a "service" contract, that is now law, it came from the EU. Quote:
I don't think that any one councillor would get that chance, think anything like that would be done via the "Tender " process. |

the dapartments that have not yet switched ownership will be doing so later this year and those departments will still be doing the work for the council for the forseeable future take my word for it or dont :rolleyes: |

The ownership of the council department, is changing hands (a new private company) and the council workforce are being transferred to the new company on the same wages, doing the same work for the new company, as they did for the council. Whilst working for the "new company" the ex-councils workforce will be on the same terms and conditions as they were with the council......for a period of time. take my word for that, I can say the same thing happened at Blackburn with Darwen, when CAPITA came along, all the workers that transferred over to CAPITA have now had their terms and conditions changed, so beware, tell your friends to read the small print, and ask the questions of their new employers. "Is there a clause in their contract, that will allow the new employer to change their terms and conditions at a later date. Only trying to be helpful ;) |
