Alternate bin collections star soon.

[Mattylad]

Still can't figure out how they equate 1 blue bin & a white sack to be the equivelent of a whole wheely bin for the 2nd week. :D

[jaseyboy]

i know. must have tested it on an anorexic person

[Mattylad]

Methinks I'll start collecting cardboard in the brown wheelie bin till it's full then take that to the tip once a month.
I have not even got a white bag yet!

Heaven help em if they refuse to take any rubbish in a fortnight, when I put out 2 weeks worth of rubbish.

Well the sorry saga continues, we never got our white bags for paper, despite ringing the council, so put our paper out yesterday, along with four or five other neighbours in black bin liners, only to come home from work and find the blue boxes had all been taken, but the paper had been left, blowing merrily over the front street, and advertising to would be burglars that we were not in the house, bloody wonderful:(

I was refused.

Apparently you need to have 6 in the household to be able to have a bigger one.

Well, we will see about that!

[jaseyboy]

lol, its an idea, but i doubt that hed take itup, as in the long run, hell be out of pocket! just for a bin

[Mattylad]

I can always say that there are 6 here :D

whinge like buggery & take mty extra bags to the dept concerned & leave them there :D

[Mattylad]

THA DAMN BUGGERS DIDN'T TAKE THE EXTRA BAGS THIS WEEK!

The wholde street is a mess of bin bags that we had to put out becvause a single wheelie bin is not big enough for a familes fortnighly waste!

Grrr!

[darren]

under the new idea of re-cycling you are'nt supposed to have any excess so the bin men have been told not to collect them, although they do in some area's

[Mattylad]

The new idea is a crock!

We cannot possible condense 2 weeks worth of rubbish into a single blue bin by taking out the glass & metal only.
