Ours is hardly ever emptied anymore. The recycling one especially, as we put it out the night before and nearly always have a refused sign on the next morning due to some git throwing a kebab wrapper into it on the way home from town

They emptied it very early this morning so panic over.

You'll have to devise some kind of anti-kebab device. Possibley something that administers and 'educational' jolt of electricity.tek-monkey said:Ours is hardly ever emptied anymore.

This would tie in nicely with my anti-chav device I have planned, however living near Zanzibar means my leccy prices could hike significantly!
This is a bit of a rhetorical question but why is it so difficult for our councils to do this properly? I am flabberghasted at how incompetent some infrastructures are. We hear about all the great innovative but simple systems over the world and yet the United Kingdom can't get it right.
If it requires separate bins for different types of recyclable waste then why not supply them?! Its our voice that has demanded recycling. Do they not think that we are capable of organising our own waste?! I really do feel like we get fobbed off with expensive, time wasting ideas that merely shift the problem elsewhere. We've been Greenwashed.

Can anyone clarify...
Apparently all the bin collections have changed and all households received a leaflet. Well, unfortunately ours was intercepted and 'filed away' by the member of the household least likely to put the bins out. Consequently - I'm not sure what I'm doing (member most likely to always end up sorting the bins).
Am on Douglas Road West - are we now Thursday. I looked on Council site and found a PDF that says Thursday for us... but it says we have been a Thursday collection since Feb of this year. This is certainly NOT the case. Are we now Thursday and what is this business of changing what you put in what bin?
Any help appreciated. Ta.

My mum is on DRW, will ask her for you. We used to be Friday on Friars Terrace, but we're now Thursday. I thought my mums had changed too TBH. Also apparently we can now put cardboard in the blue bin?

Correctamundo....and unconfirmed reports say that you no longer need your caddy for the blue bin either, so you just chuck everything in the main bin. Don't hold me to that, as if it's not started/isn't gonna happen i'm sure that the pedantry of the council would result in your bin not being emptied on collection day...which would be crapola.tek-monkey said:

They've refused to empty ours before because someone coming back from the pub threw a kebab wrapper in our bin.

I did get the new stickers, however I've also heard from people in the know that they *could* be scrapped due to the health and safety aspect of collectors lifting potentially heavy caddies from a height/position which could cause injury.Sofa said:
Like I said, this is an unconfirmed report, however I'd expect another letter through your door in the not-so-distant future. Until you're told any different by the council I'd keep using it, but watch this space. If this is the case, well done Stafford Borough Council for another huge waste of money...

Not really a waste, we use it as a beer-can bin for the kitchen!

sounds sensible enough.. my first caddy broke the very first time i tried to use it, under the weight of the papers i put in there, which shows that it can be filled to dangerously heavy capacity.. certainly no fun trying to lift that sort of weight when it's already at shoulder height..Andreas Rex said:
