No, kerbside recycling is not part of Castletown rates. I do not know who (but I think from the pile up during covid it was the doi) is responsible for the public bins, but they are well used. 24 minutes ago, Roger Mexico said: Sneak them out to the football club when no one is looking. That's too far. I have no shame really, I'm proud to recycle umpteen wine bottles and beer cans. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve just repeated what’s on Twitter if people don’t have Twitter to follow the other link.

Actually, thinking about this, when you got your rates demand, did you pay it on the assumption they'd be picking your bins up every week? Bit dodgy to change it halfway through the year when you've already billed everyone isn't it? Not sure I've seen that mentioned before, why is that? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Declan Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 6 hours ago, TheTeapot said: Imagine complaining that someone picks your recycling up from your house. Some of us have to publicly clink and clank our shame through the town square to responsibly dispose of ours. I would rather Douglas's fortnightly but with recycling option than the once a week, one bin model than we have here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll have to speak to your local commissioners, they hold the power. 2 minutes ago, Declan said: What would you do though, not pay? Rates aren't like a Netflix subscription. Well most people will have paid before they made the change, which is shifty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can see it mentioned in this thread, it was brought up at the DBC meeting by Dominic Delaney. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typically vacuous point by Delaney. What would people have done if the change was done before the rates were due - move house? Not pay?

I didn't notice all the black boxes on the screenshots first time I read the tweet. I’m guessing it’s someone with a short name by the size of the blank.

If that guy gets shut down legally, so will this thread, or at least very large chunks of it. These pastes should have gone into a different thread. Try and switch on a little more to the consequences of your actions...it might make you more friends on MF. How does it not relate to uselessness in DBC...?

This was countered by DBC saying it was actually a cost neutral change...how though, few seemed to understand. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
