thanks

ive got my bins at the back door .. and they come and collect em and take em to the bin wagon, empty em and then return them to the back door. im on the assisted scheme .. then again im in rossendale not in hyndburn.

The wheelie bins are ok but the 2 weeks wait for them to be emptied is awful especially when you have a large household!!!

bin went out today and it had loads of room in it, enough for a couple of brake disks, 2 rear springs and a suspension lower arm and still had space left.
All that is without whacking it down with a spade, I can get twice as much in when I do that

Wheelie bins here for general rubbish - once a week, left within 1 metre of the road and a 1 man vehicle comes and automatically picks it up, empties it into the lorry and then deposits it back - the driver never leaves his cab.
Plastics and cans are into yellow bags which you deposit in large wire baskets which are pretty well distributed around and glass goes into bottle banks which are in all supermarket car parks and at the rubbish dump along with all the other disposal skips - building material, metal, cardboard, oil, general and garden waste.
Works fine here, street cleaners in the towns, no rubbish lying around, but probably different in the big cities.

HBC has never been proactive or forward thinking. I can't fault the service here in Bolton. We have 4 wheelies. General rubbish still gets collected weekly and the only time it fails is when I forget to put it out! All the others go fortnightly with minimal segregation. Card / paper in one, tins plastics and glass in another, compostibles in t'other. Simples x
