Are you waiting on getting your waste to be taken? I can appreciate that the weather is hindering the collections given the conditions of the roads, but come on council a little more organisation would not go amiss.
I contacted the council twice today, the first this morning simply to enquire if the collections would go ahead given the weather prior to carting it all out, the answer was “yes they are out but we don’t know yet if they will last the day”. That’s fair enough, I made sure all rubbish was available to take, card & paper in one extra bag and cans & bottles also in an additional bag given the number of weeks since the bins and boxes were taken for recycling. It is now 4.15 and my drive looks as if it’s replaced the tip at Whetstone.
The second contact was to ask if the items for recycling are still being collected, yes hopefully they are, “they have been out since 7.30 this morning but the side roads are bad and the lorries are extremely heavy given the excess weight from Christmas, Leave it out until 5pm and if they haven’t been collected there will be a full pick up next week”, oh good because then it can all be brought back to keep the drive warm in the snow.
The gritters were not too helpful then, they weren’t where I live either, did they come out at all? Perhaps it’s time that the council started working on a rota system like many other services do. A rota does not mean you have to work Christmas day and Boxing day, but it would mean that there would not have to be a massive and troublesome collection after Christmas.
The July fortnight, no Shops open on a Sunday and the Monday to Friday and 9 til 5 jobs are becoming more scarce. Is it not time the council boarded the 21st century? It’s a good job that nurses, policeman fireman, prison officers and postmen don’t work that way, imagine the excess that would gather up. And I bet that council workers were glad that they could find shops open when they needed one outside of 5pm and a weekend.
well sounds like someone is very sad and lonley. lighten up u boaring turd, think of the plot to blow up the plane over christmas, and you are worried about your sack of rubbish!!!!!!
typical silly brit
To inform you – In addition to previous calls to the council about collections, the observation of numerous neighbours bins placed on the curbside caused enough curiosity to call again.
Whilst pleased to know I was not missing out on my waste being taken, it was not so encouraging to hear that collection for recycling is to wait yet another week, 5 in total.
So we pay the coucil tax, they don’t grit and collect and we get to buy extra purple bags for the recyling and rubbish to benefit the council yet again – nice to know the council earn their money!
Council tax pays for as follows:
fat police officers that couldnt run 10 metres and have the strength of an 8 year old!
bins collected when they are bothered.
shit parish council that couldnt organise a piss up in a brewery.
seriously cant think what else!! Please no smart arse put some waste of money thing down! dont put fire service as i know they are all that is worth paying for!!
