New contractor is operating as "Bin Police" I have seen several un emptied bins exhibiting a tag with tick box reasons for non collection. IE "bagged re-cycling " (A black bag in the blue caddy) Items in wrong bin etc.
As they should, it is not difficult to put the right rubbish in the right bin. I understood if they take recycling that has none recyclables it simply goes to landfill.
Whether that has changed with the contractors i do not know
Send for the coastguard:I have had a huge problem with the bins today.
They put them back so neatly that I assumed that they hadn't been emptied when I returned, just before it started raining, so I left them out.
I now realise that they are actually empty and I will have to go out in the wet to get them in.
There will be a stiff email to the council about this!
No doubt they would have obliged me, if they hadn't been doing an air ambulance run on the M7.Send for the coastguard:
Indeed - I missed out on winning the 'who can get the bins in first' competition* - I was certain that I heard the bin lorry, but when I looked outside the bin hadnt moved, so I just left it there....a win for nextdoor this week...I have had a huge problem with the bins today.

No new calendars yet. The last one finished at the end of January and had a note on it saying that we would get a new one before it ended. No sign, so far.I used to take all the bins in our little corner back to their houses from the top of the driveway where they are left , whilst getting mine back in as soon as it's emptied. Then the bin-day when hubby was rushed into hospital, I returned home after midnight to find just mine left at the top of the driveway. So since then have thought sod everyone elses!
Has anyone else had a new bin calendar yet? Usually had one by now, but just had a letter through ages ago with bank holiday collection changes.
I believe that nobody has had a new collection calendar, the implication was that the collection days would be changing, but nothing has happened.Bin collections in Weeping Cross /Baswich are tomorrow (Saturday) rather than Monday.
I haven't had a calendar either. I check the dates online.
There was a party a few doors up from me once, her blue bin was full to the top with 100% glass bottles. After it had been tipped in, with a great amount of sound, the bin-men gave a round of applause and saluted the house.I can pinpoint where the refuse cart is , the sounds of breaking wine and spirits bottles gives it away every time
