That would come as no surprise..!
Lets face it, it is about time we sacked all of the bin men and their employer's (the various local authorities). In their place we should install people who 1, Do the job properly. 2, Give a monkey's and 3, A council authority who can actually be held accountable more than just once every four or five years.
Failing that....... A BadWolf Dictatorship!

Before I give you my vote, Bad-Wolf, please let me know your bin-emptying policies, as follows:-
1. Will your bin men step one foot on my drive to get hold of my bin?
2. Will they put the empty bin back on my property and not in front of my next-door neighbour's or across the road?
3. Will they put the black sack that's been placed on top of the full bin into the lorry instead of throwing it on to the pavement?
4. Will the bin-lorry pull in to the side of the road instead of stopping in the middle for 10 minutes and preventing any traffic from passing?
5. Will your bin-men stop making sure that the top 6" of any full bin are spilled into the road, especially if they are particularly squishy and smelly?
If you can answer "yes" to all these questions you can be my Dictator.

Knowing Hyndburn it will be a cardboard box!!Less said:Rumour also has it that we will be recycling cardboard soon but I suppose they are having difficulty deciding on the colour and material that container will be made of!
As for tips - there ain't a chance! We are told to put our blue boxes out for 7.30am so I put mine out at 7.25am as soon as I get up. Trouble is the wagon usually arrives at around 7.20!! Council is adamant they don't start until 7.30 but when I challenged one of the binmen about this one morning he said they'd just changed the start time to 7.24am.
Plonker
i wouldnt get up earlier especialy in winter
if people dont bend to please the council maybe they will realise it simply dosnt work and do somthing about it
so far they have us sorting out the rubbish,storeing it in our homes for 2 weeks and cleaning it before it even hits the bins all of which we pay council tax for the council to do , not us

If HBC want our boxes to be out by 7.30 then that is just what I do. Why should I be inconvenienced by their ineptitude to do their job properly and at the correct time??Neil said:
My solution is to keep calling them up and getting somebody to come and empty it later (somebody once came in a hatchback!!) The fact that this has happened countless times makes you wonder if there is any communication between council departments.
well said churchman , i also like how HBC now call us customers yet dont provide customer satisfaction although i did get a phone call once asking me to answer a few questions about how i found their services
that was a very long phonecall indeed i doubt they will ring me again

It just makes me wonder why people can be so awkward. What you are doing is costing money that could be used to improve the service.
Who's being awkward?? It's down to those who collect the refuse to do so at the time they are supposed to. I am doing as I have been told so why should I disrupt my routine? BTW on one occasion it was before 7.15 when they turned up 'cos my daughter (who's six) woke me up to tell me.
What happened to the customer always being right? As I pay for the service via council tax I am a customer (and I pay full whack as I work for a living). Would you pay a garage for a service if they said "Certainly sir, bring your car in at 6am" even if it didn't suit your routine??
ps Neil. In reply to your earlier post of putting out the box after they've been, if I put my box out at 7.25 and they aren't in sight just how am i supposed to know if they've been or not??!!!

I think it is fair to say that one way or another a dictatorship with myself as dictator could assure that those points/questions would be addressed/answered in the affirmative!
Vote Bad-Wolf...... sensible policies for a happier Britain!
