Their job is to collect rubbish
Another one who’s fallen for the Tory strategy of cutting funding to the bone and then blaming the local councils. Thick as pig shit.Soon there will be an added fee for all your bins plus a small fee each year for your street cleaning and so on which will not be taken off the council tax.
Once that's all done then they'll put up your council tax again then think up another money-grabbing scheme.
Hartlepool is one of the biggest rip-offs for council tax and they rarely clean our streets now. You have to beg them and their answer's usually "oh the funds prevent us from doing it."
The same goes for street weeding.
They're turning this place into a slum.
It's constant. Not hard to work out if there's cuts there less staff, and if there's less staff those remaining won't have time to be scraping everyone's shite off the back lane once their bin bags have split.Another one who’s fallen for the Tory strategy of cutting funding to the bone and then blaming the local councils.

Bin collection is a relatively small part of the budget. Social care is the big one and we all know which way costs are heading there.It's constant. Not hard to work out if there's cuts there less staff, and if there's less staff those remaining won't have time to be scraping everyone's shite off the back lane once their bin bags have split.
Absolute horseshit.They’re meant to be doing a public service and there’s caveats left right and centre.
It’s not like this is every house on the route, but if there’s someone who has excess cos they’ve had a clear out or something then they should be collecting everything. They were doing this decades ago when they had to lump those massive static bins over their shoulders to empty. Always used to have brushes on side if wagon to clear up anything that’s dropped out.
Just becoming lazier
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?
The point is not to put loose bags out. They're not leaving them there all day if you don't put them out.
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
4, so isn't bad as nappies just about out the way. Used to be tight on occasions and still always have recycling side waste, which is ok in Durham. If you have 5 or 6 adults in a house then you should likey have two binsFew people in my street are going to struggle with that. Family up the street produce more bags than the Waltons at Christmas.
Not disagreeing with you but how many is in your household?
Exactly. Planning is likely complicated, depending where the landfill is.I don’t know but do the lorries not have a specific capacity? Presumably people leaving side bags out will affect the efficiency of how many houses each route could collect?
Just a reminder that as from today Sunderland Council Refuse Collection will not collect anything that is not in your wheelie bin. Even if it is in a black bin bag it will not be collected. It must be in the bin.

Household side waste - Sunderland City Council

The same council that goes around collecting dozens of bags of rubbish collected by local volunteers in the Washington area. ?
They really don't think it through do they ?
You can get a larger bin capacity I think though
Green only i thinkIs this the same case with the recycle blue bin or is it just for general shite in the green bin.
Usually have loads of cardboard and occasionally had it flattened and next to the blue bin when I couldn’t get anymore in
Cheers. We manage fine with the green one. Like I say only ever the blue one that we occasionally struggle with due to the amount of parcels we get.Green only i think
Fade To Grey? (Steve Strange). Sorry for the rubbish punI didn’t think you were allowed to leave bags next to the bin until I saw the notice come round that they were fading it out.
Due to your circumstances it would be an absolute disgrace if you didn’t get a bigger bin tbh.It says you can be assessed to see if you qualify for a larger blue bin if you need one for medical reasons but I'm unsure if I would get one. I'd only need a bigger one once every 8-10 weeks (depending on when they're delivered), the rest of the weeks the one I have now is big enough.
Also when I rang and asked if I could get an extra green bin due to my adult daughter being in nappies they refused and said I couldn't. So I hid mine a few weeks later and said it had been stolen and I paid £25 to get a new one. I have 2 now.
How can they prove it was you who left it next to your bin. And where did you read thatIt’s also going to be £100 fine for any side waste left.
You need to get out more Chubbycracking day out in fairness I’m surprised they don’t charge an entry fee
Just put your extra rubbish next to someone else's bin.How can they prove it was you who left it next to your bin. And where did you read that

Absolute horseshit.
