The point is this is being sold as not being a reduction in service when it is very clearly a reduction in service. No, the point is a large amount of garden waste should never have gone into the normal waste bin anyway. It would never have crossed my mind to fill successive bins with garden waste, particularly when the volume is so much like during the autumn clear up. It should have been taken to the tip regardless of what the recycling or bin collections were. Would you expect them to take away a fridge if you could fit it in the bin?

Sorry. I was taught English at school. I'll get my coat. Agreed though, why should it just be DBC who supplies green bins? When using grammar as an argument it proves that I am correct. No, it doesn’t; although, in this case, the respondent was actually agreeing with you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no intention of inspecting bins, just pointing out what is a reasonable expectation and use of a public waste disposal service.

John Wright Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 I applied by phone for a two bin exemption about three weeks ago. I chased them a week ago by e-mail. They are sending round the bin police tomorrow to assess my need. How wasteful of time and resources is this policy and implementation. Why not just promote and improve the recycling.

John Wright Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 9 hours ago, offshoremanxman said: Yes it’s wasteful they should just let you buy or use an extra bin on the presumption that you wouldn’t buy one or put one out if you didn’t actually need one. The bin police routine is pretty much a joke. You’re lucky to get an appointment tomorrow as for a while it was weeks and weeks to secure a bin police inquisition into your personal wastefulness. We’ve had two bins for 15 years. I copied in Mr. Cllr. Amadeus into my e-mail! id prefer a series of wheelie bins. One for glass, one for plastic, one for paper/card, emptied monthly 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amadeus into my e-mail! id prefer a series of wheelie bins. One for glass, one for plastic, one for paper/card, emptied monthly That would work for those with big enough gardens. The issue we have is that the sorting is done at the point of collection. Many councils use a single bin but then sort it back at base. Like you say, the only way around is to have seperate bins then they could use the crusher type vehicles with the wheelie lifters. Or start over.

In Spain and Bulgaria there are no household collections. There are frequent street collection points for different types of waste. Some are sunk into the ground. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know they need medical certificates for a red wheelie bin label. I had a very thorough shower this morning, and clean clothes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
