They say they are on work to rule, in their case, only emptying bins on agreed routes in a relaxed methodical manner, no overtime, and refusing to collect anything next to bins e.g. bagged refuse.

We were last collected on the 6th sept, which was a satdi, not the normal Friday. I spoke to cityclean this week who promised that bin collection would be done on Friday this week and they would collect rubbish bags that won't fit in the wheelie bin....we will see!

According to them, it's the drivers of the dust carts, yet the recycling drivers are all happy! Seemly there are new lorries on their way too which are smaller so there won't be issues with them not being able to get into smaller closes etc....again we will see.

Yes, but the bins have stayed on the verge since then. So they can collect anytime.

Walking through Hannover this morning on my way to work, the rubbish is all over the streets. Appears some residents have put out bin bags only for them to be torn apart by foxes / seagulls et al.

And in the death
As the last few corpses lay rotting on the slimy western road
The shutters lifted in inches in granstand building
High on the Race Hill
And red mutant eyes gaze down on Brighton City
No more big wheels

Fleas the size of rats sucked on rats the size of cats
And ten thousand peoploids split into small tribes
Coveting the highest of the sussex heights
Like packs of gulls assaulting the glass fronts of west street
Ripping and rewrapping mink and shiny silver fox, now legwarmers
Family badge of sapphire and cracked emerald.
In the years of the green council dogs
