Re: Council services - good service?

I recently worked for hyndburn borough council. I was only there temporary but i can tell you that its not as easy as what everyone thinks. I was part of the recycling team, everyday we started at 7.30am, you never knew what job you were going to get put on, whilst i was working there i did everything from litter picking to trade waste to collecting unwanted fridges and waste that had been tipped illegally. It was a very demanding job with very few people giving any respect to you, but i must say some of the service we provided was really good, one lady in baxenden phoned in to have a fridge collected she was told on the phone it would be collected in between 2-3 weeks, but she was pleasantly suprised when we showed up to take it the same day. Sorry if this post is a little long but i just thought id let people know how difficult a job some people at the council have.
