Poor bin men still getting picked on?

Had my blue bins emptied for the first time since November yesterday. Pleased about that but the level of communication has been shocking.

Its piss poor. Their "oh just bring it to tip"

Yeah i wanna put a shit load of food waste into my car and drive it to tip.

Pickup is meant to be tuesday here still not been. Then you have issue you leave them out gos you aren't sure when they will turn up, some numpty but 1 wrong item in your bin, say tskeaway pizza box and they slap that yellow tag in saying they couldnt take it due to incorrect contents

Didnt say they did the whole things a shambles.

 

[Shandy drinker]

Absolute farce this and still expecting you to pay your poll tax on time
It’s obvious the hr at stc is piss poor
I think the local council elections are going to see a backlash

It is mate.
The council are to blame and are trying to pass it on to the bin men.

I think they are catching up from the previous week. Our blue bin was due to be emptied last Thursday but was done on Wednesday. The rubbish bin is due today but if they are 3 days behind then it looks like I’m going to the tip or skips if they set them up.

 

[Hosey69]

Tip run booked for Sunday night on my way to work .
Used the skips at latimers last time got to say the lad and lass looking after them couldn't have been more helpful took the rubbish out of my boot and chucked it in the skip for me.
