when she told me that they only collect grass cuttings I told her that its (the bags of soil) are no different from any other garden waste - end of the day its waste and its from a garden - whether its grass or soil shouldnt matter - she couldnt reply to that bit - and the other reason I phoned the council was to complain as the bin lorry drove over some of the bags and burst all over the alley - now the bags were stacked in a row against the wall so they wouldnt be in the way but the bin lorry still managed to hit them - when I told her this she said to me ' maybe the driver thought it was normal rubbish ' - I asked what difference does that make - he still drove over bags and burst them - I then said that they are in builders bags and its clearly obvious cos of the name of the builders - she then asked if I would like to make a formal compliant - said yes and an inspector will be out in a couple of days - I said thats pointless as the mess will be cleared up inside 30 mins so when your inspector comes round there will be no mess - her reply - well he will be coming anway , thank you and the phone hangs up.
