Ok so it's a sub HB&B thread title but the problem is a very real one. Yesterday the council said they would empty the bins and recycling down our road and didn't. Then they said they'd do it today. At the time of writing they have done the recycling and not the bins. Tomorrow is Sunday and then we apparently have an apocalyptic hurricane arriving on Monday (at least if the bins are full they won't take off I suppose).

It's not exactly a unique event this year. The new routes and shifts clearly aren't working. Who's to blame? Crews or council? My money's firmly on the council.

A Dustcart and it's binmen can only be in one place at a time and there is a limit to how many bins they can empty in a day.

I suspect that whoever got the contract did a little bit of bullshitting as to how the would be more efficient.

That's what happens when you elect amateurs.
Our recycling has not been emptied for 3 weeks. We're very green.

Thing is, if everyone did this there would be no punishment for people without work and street cleaners would be out of a job ................. I guess this makes me part of the problem
or big society, or an irritating fussy pot?????????????
