I am far from 1 in 1. I am saying that DBCs customers are humans. They have failings. They should have had that in mind when they came up with a strategy that was only suitable for those who didnt have such failings. A minority it seems. FGS who ever reads all the crap that organisations put in with their Bill's. No, you are missing the point. There was plenty of publicity as well as direct notifications. The onus is on you to read what is sent to you. A reasonable person, after realising that they had not read what was sent to them, would say 'I missed that' and then get on with it instead of arguing that the fault lay in no or poor communication from DBC. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’ll have to close MF down as he’ll end up being the only candidate that nobody can say anything bad about on his own forum. All the mods (ie, him and his mate) actively banning every adverse mention of only one candidate while everyone else standing will get ripped to shreds. It will be fun to watch the forum ‘free speech” in action 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just pointed out that some people are relaying accurately what their experience with DBC has been contrary to the regular claims from the usual suspects that people are either making things up or don’t have issues. What from I see, 1) if there were thousands and thousands not happy then yes you’d have to say there’s been a really cockup. There’s not. Many solutions have been found for business and private people since the launch. 2) when I nip out for lunch or go to other areas of inner Douglas, which from what people are saying are shockingly full of litter and bin bags, there’s no more crap than has been the last 4 years I’ve worked there. No doubt many won’t agree but that’s just what I see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not have any real issues and the small issues I have had have mainly been addressed by DBC. BUT I have consistently argued that: 1. The recycling boxes are not fit for purpose especially with their shower caps which disintegrate; 2. There will be issues in the high density areas with multiple occupancies, Victorian properties and street layout not lending themselves to the storage and collection of the recycling boxes; 3. DBC should provide locks for bins in these areas to stop people dumping their rubbish in other people's bins; and 4. DBC need to be told of specific problems so they can assist, or adapt their routines. None of that makes me a DBC lackey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Douglas pays less for a shirt while (potentially) then the EFW put the rates up even higher on the smaller volume they get from DBC and everyone else as they need to same level of fees to be viable. The whole thing is a totally pointless exercise in moving deck chairs round on the Titanic whilst reducing services.
