Tazio Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Anyone here in EH4 or other areas that had bin collections scheduled today not had the collection yet? I’ve not seen anything in the news about collections not happening yet my bin still sits outside on the pavement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nucky Thompson Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 It happened to us the other week. Everyone parks on the one side of our narrow street but some lazy twat bumped up on the pavement at the other side and the bin lorry couldn't get down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankblack Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 The block opposite me are strange. There are a mixture of green and grey bins still on the pavement nearly two days after recycling collection. Some of them don't seem to put a bin out at all.

Our brown bin has been left a few times as between it being put out and collected, a passer by has put an empty can or a chip wrapper in it. We've got the communal black bins they're often not emptied because cars are doubled parked or parked too close. We're near the depot so out bins are mostly emptied just after 6am which is really enjoyable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3fingersreid Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Just wish they’d put the ****ers back from where they got them , rather than going on a sponsored walk to get them back from where they dump them . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ri Alban Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 (edited) There's no need for so many different bins. Waste should be weekly, grass fortnightly during summer and recycling 3 to 4 weekly. Feck it, naebdy gies af, so burn it all!!!! Get @jake to sort these ***** oot! Edited August 29, 2020 by ri Alban Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if there is a power drive or, look at me scenario but our bin collector used to ALLWAYS place the empty bin back smack central over the driveway meaning I could not get my car in.....I live on a busy street and when coming back from work, much to other drivers annoyance, I would have to get out my car on the main road, move the bin then get back in to park on my drive......... I did think about putting a shit on the bin handle to exact my revenge but my wife decided a box of chocolates and a “thank you key workers” card would be much better.......the problem has now gone away.......why are women so much more clever😒 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tazio Posted August 29, 2020 Author Share Posted August 29, 2020 That’s them just emptied them a few minutes ago. Only 24 hours late. I don’t like the bike being out on a Friday night in case of passing drunks knocking it over or the like, last thing i want to be doing on a Saturday morning is chasing my rubbish about the street.
