typical, the ones round here don't even put them back in the right place, leave them all over the place, wrong side of the road and everything

Bin Men nowadays are W@nkers.
I had a similar situation before Xmas when my Green bin was a bit over full, so much so that I could not close the lid. They did not empty the bin because the lid has to be able to close properly. That they need to open the lid in order to empty the bin is irrelevant! I had a right ruck with the council over this and decided the bin men would not be getting their yearly "Christmas Box" of a case of Murphys after this. W@nkers |

I pay 1200 quid a year Council Tax and my council state I can only leave out 3 black bags. We have 4 children, 2 of whom up until recently both needed 5 or 6 nappies a day minimum! At that stage we generally had 5 or 6 black bags come Tuesday. I started doubling them up(putting one black bag of rubbish into another as they were never full) but the binmen left them as they were to heavy. My 9 year old helps me put them out!
I now throw them in myself. They hate it but they always come nice and early and I am always ready to throw my extra bags in. I kid you not, the amount of bags they leave is farcical. Too heavy, too many, slight rip, left in the wrong place. The list of excuses is a joke. |

We must be lucky with our binmen. They open the bins and lift the bags out which saves them having to drag them out to the lorry and back. Keeps the bins cleaner too. And they don't worry if there's some biggish bits but just take them. As a result they do quite well at Christmas round here.

I used to give mine £40 every xmas.
They get nothing now after not taking my bin because it was more than the Health and safety distance from the road for them to take it. Which is amazing really as when i had bags of rubble a ceramic toliet and a double matress in my back garden (further away) but offered them a score to take it... it was no problem. |

i only have a third of a bin cos i live in a flat, one bin for 3 flats. i went out once to throw my rubbish away and someone had filled it up with a duvet. what ya gonna do...take the rubbish back in and have rotting chicken carcass sat in your flat for a week, no course not. tried to push down in the bin best i could but the lid was still open by about 1 centimetre. they emptied them but put stickers on every bin threatening not to empty them ever again if the lid wasnt closed! fecking w@nkers! next time if the bin is full il just throw my rubbish in the street. youd think theyd be a bit more understanding when they know that every bin is shared by 3 flats so if its full when you want to throw rubbish out you cant really do anything about it.
