Cameras all over the truck that record everything.As far as i'm aware they have been instructed to. Whether they do or not is another thing. Problem is they won't know if a council spy is following them or not.

It’s absolutely crackers now man..lad in the gym who works on the bins was on about if they see grease on a cardboard pizza box they won’t take it..and i posted before about those white polystyrene cartons that kebabs and stuff come in..wrong bin and they leave them and you get a warning..as already posted..there’s going to be fly tipping arl ower.
My daughter is 23 and severely disabled, still in nappies. I get them delivered in 4 huge cardboard boxes every 8 weeks and I used to fold them down and stick them behind my recycling bin, they always took them with my recycling. No idea what I'll do with them now as I don't drive so can't get to the tip and I never have the room in my bin to put them in there. They'd take up the full recycling bin on their own.
The rules tell you not to put pizza boxes in recycling.
The obsession with bins in this country is weird. People will talk about it in the gym and rant about it on message boards but ask them to take the slightest bit of personal responsibility like reading what goes where, and it's like you've asked them to climb Everest with a wheelie bin on their back.![]()
Blue recycling bin - Sunderland City Council

Already has to be closed - mine rarely is mind and they still empty it:-The next phase is refusing to take bins where you can't shut the lid.
As a family of 5 it's easier now the 2 little uns are potty trained to a point so less nappies but the green bin always has the lid propped up a bit and the recycling is generally full even with crushing things down. Didn't even realise you could leave side waste until we got the notice saying it was stopping.
They've always said they won't take food packaging in the recycling if it has food waste on it. People are only gassing about it now because it was on Facebook.It’s absolutely crackers now man..lad in the gym who works on the bins was on about if they see grease on a cardboard pizza box they won’t take it..and i posted before about those white polystyrene cartons that kebabs and stuff come in..wrong bin and they leave them and you get a warning..as already posted..there’s going to be fly tipping arl ower.
I don’t know why more people don’t just burn it. If I run out of bin space it’s straight on the fire pit.I don't know why they don't offer optional weekly collections for a yearly fee.
I sweep the paths and maintain the verges outside my house and the ones either side, elderly neighbour. I shamethe rest of the street into doing it too, mostly.Aberdeen City Council is the same we have to pay a yearly fee on top of our Council Tax to get our green waste collected plus they have put up the yearly Council Tax figure too. Mine is now over £3000 a year and they do less and less plus the estate we live on I have to pay a factor fee for them to cut the grass and empty the bins. So for my Council Tax I do not see what they do for the cost of it, during the cold spell the roads and paths weren't gritted and people we skidding and sliding all over making it so dangerous until I went out and gritted the paths and roads myself.
What is the reasoning behind not taking side bags? Just seems to be a rule for the sake of a rule. Not hard to lob it in the back with everything else
Rats, gulls and foxes rip them open.
All the more reason to empty it then surely? Vermin aren’t going to rip open a bag that’s on a back of a lorry but it is if it’s left there all day which you only see when getting home from work.
No logic if that’s their rationale
My missus often puts the bins at the end of the drive the night before (as do a few other people in the street) and it doesn't get emptied til early afternoon. Bags often ripped open before the bin men have even been.
maybe part of it is the extra time it takes? they are probably cutting the service to the bone due to funds so if everyone left extra bags out it's going to take a bit longer for each house.What is the reasoning behind not taking side bags?

And what happens when the bag is ripped and they pick it up and the rubbish all falls out. They supposed to hang about sweeping it up?I get that - but it still doesn’t make logical sense that leaving them on the path for the rest of the day is helping the issue. It’s the opposite.
Their job is to collect rubbish

The point is not to put loose bags out. They're not leaving them there all day if you don't put them out.
