Is it just me, or may we as well just do our own rubbish collections??

Question

I mean, come on! I'm in the Wear Valley Council area, and have to do this:

* Terraced properties should place their bins in the back lane

* Open plan estates should place their bin at the edge of their property on the drive/forecourt nearest the road

*Properties with no drive should place their bin on the pavement against their boundary wall

*All bins should be positioned with the handle facing towards the road.

Answer 1

yupyup its not you, you pay allot for the service now they want you do everything but put in the truck for people,

Answer 2

In my part of London I don't have to do anything. The bin lives near my front door. The nice friendly council man comes up my (tiny) path and takes the rubbish out of the bin and places the bags in the road ready for the bin lorry. They even collect on Bank Holidays!

I recycle an awful lot of my rubbish. And that's collected in the same way.

As a point of interest - on the news yesterday, it said that micro-organisms similar to that of bubonic plague had been found in rubbish which is now only being collected by some councils every two weeks!

Answer 3

Its all c**p, a fortune in council tax and all you get is your bin emptied and now they want to regulate that.

Answer 4

It is just you. Taking your own trash to the dump would get old really fast.
