Our binman policy is the same. We just put up with it. Whenever our rubbish is too much, I just take it to the rubbish tips myself in the back of my car.

 

I have to say this is one subject i love milton keynes council for.
1 black sack for crap and one pink sack for recyling - literally everything but food. Then theres the green bin for food & garden.

If i leave anything not too bulky by the bins they always take it & & & put it in the correct hole rather then the black sack hole.

 

So that's why they refused to replace my bin .. mother ****ers

 

We had 3 bins up until Nov last year: general waste, plastic and glass, and garden waste.
The garden waste bins were aborted due to council cuts and a note through the door said we can pay £40 a year to continue having them collected or just put garden waste in the black bin.

I thought about that for about 2 seconds..

You see, there is a prime example of why these idiots that work in these councils need sacking. They are crooked AND thick. Who could honestly have sat there and dreamed up the pay £40 or put the rubbish in the normal bin and then persaded the rest of whatever overblown sub-commitee makes these decisions to adopt it as a policy??? No one with more than two braincells could think that was a good idea. They are utterly full of complete ****ing morons

 

I guess the odd few who value recycling so much they are willing to pay even more over and above what council tax they are charged already....

There was a subsequent note to say any owners not wishing to pay the £40 could have their brown bins collected free of charge. We put ours out front on said date and guess what? A glance up and down our road saw a sea of brown bins

If you use all recycling options readily available on doorstep and locally no need to produce much general waste even after Christmas. Since our council also started recycling food waste not much goes in general waste. If everyone just did the bare minimum etc.....I love dolphins me!

 

Tut, Tut, sounds to me like some of you boys didn't slip their bin men a tenner at christmas.

The bin men ALWAYS take what ever I put out, extra bags the lot, mine even come get the bin and put it back.

 

Anything they don't take, set alight. Global warming is a myth and if the council do complain about you burning it on environmental grounds, just tell them that they should have collected it when you put it out.

 

I guess you didn't give them a tip this christmas? A £5 box of quality street every year to the bin men and they take anything I put out there. I live on a farm and naturally have a lot of rubbish which I chuck out, all put on the ground next to the bin. They take it all....

 

Who else do you tip?

I certainly don't tip the woman who delivers our mail - she only brings bills

 

One of my neighbours got a letter of the Cheshire East ***** last year telling her that she was going to be fined because never left her garden waste bin out
They decided that she must be putting it in the general waste bin, it never occurred to the thick ***** that she might be doing her own composting

 

I do the milkman, postman and bin men. £15 a year in tips isn't much and it keeps them all sweet. My postman is brilliant. If I'm out on the farm and no one is in the house, he'll come looking for me or walk down the path and leave it right in my porch.

 

This is the second time I have felt the need to question your sexuality, no wonder the post man comes looking for you.

 

He gave me his phone number half a year ago and said that if I was expecting a parcel and required it in the morning, he said I could ring him to check he had it out for delivery LOL He's a nice Indian chap though, speaks broken English But no, I have a lovely girlfriend thank you Sorry I'm not available to you

 

Looks like you were right, ditchy.

 

Lsherat, do you 'do them' one at a time or all at once? I bet who ever is after you for milk, mail and rubbish often has a long wait....

 

*******!
