Asthehills Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 I was talking to someone very involved in this from a government side rather than commissioners side recently. They were very clear that the green waste collection is nothing more than an attempt by DBC to keep gate charges at the EFW plant down and that it offers no environmental benefit when you factor in the extra trip to do the collections. Hopefully they have seen sense and binned it off (pun intended) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We struggle to fit a week's worth in the sodding bin never mind 2 weeks worth. That's with recycling of glass bottles, cans and plastic included. Goodness knows how we will manage 2 weeks. Maybe buy a second wheelie bin off ebay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omobono Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 filled both my bins this week so I sincerely hope we don't get let down, refuse and green waste collections need to be 100% RELIABLE or people will not bother to get involved , 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numbnuts Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 And what happens when some twat , and they will , fills your bin up with their rubbish. I'm guessing maybe a lock for your bin can be purchased . Anyone know ?? . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopek Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 You're not charged for your bins content, if a neighbour can use your bin for their surplus, what's the problem??? Would you prefer they dumped their surplus in the street/back lane??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If , as has happened before someone has filled my bin theres going to be a issue with where I put my rubbish. Especially now its gone fortnightly .

Happier diner Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 This would suggest it has started, although no one seems aware Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is they will refuse to take your bin away and you will be left to dispose of your neighbours rubbish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Power Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 4 hours ago, John Wright said: It started Monday 3 October Because my bin needs to be moved to the bottom of an unadopted lane, I contacted the council and was told it started on the 26th but they couldn't tell me the rota, I'd just have to leave my bin outside someone else's house and wait for it to be emptied. Then I'd know the rotation. Fat chance of me remembering week on week. My bin was emptied on the 26th, so I thought that was the first of the new regime. It now seems that my full bin won't be collected next week and I'll have to wait until the following week! I then pointed out that I'm disabled and don't want to be trapsing up and down an uneven lane in the hope it had been emptied. Was told that they'd send an application for a red bin lid, still waiting a fortnight later! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
