where would you put your pumkin?
 

Now I know im not with HBC but I think from previous threads they are all similar .
Now I put my cardboard ,garden clippings,veg peelings etc into my green bin on orders from the council ,now halloween has past and here i am left with 2 pumkins ,so today were green bin collection day and so I popped the pumpkins into the green bin as i do with my veg peelings after all its a vegatable isnt it?
Guess what ? they havent emptied my green bin because of the pumkins being in there , so can anyone tell me just where do pumkins go then?

They are staying there for the next two weeks and i will just carry on putting my green waste on top but either way , they will take my pumkins away

How stupid.

That's the whole point of the green bins.

The pumpkins are bio-degradable.

Phone them up and give them hell.

If they aren't emptied the next time, inform them that you've put a witche's curse on them.:D

Collect all the leaves in a sack.

Go into HBC's offices and recycle them all about the building.

Deny all knowledge, because you don't have a garden.;)

pmsl garinda ..well I do have a broomstick instead of a brush to sweep my kitchen floor so maybe I will give that a try haha .


yes willow they are a veg and i would have thought it is exactly the same as veg peelings , but according to these green fingered binmen " sorry its not on the list " what actually gets me is that if its not bad enough being chipped ,they are actually looking in my bin as well .

I will as i say be leaving them there for next pick up and if they still fail to take it i will be really complaining ..... will wheel the bin to the bloomin council myself lol

Do your council not provide compost bins?

We do in Hyndburn, I'll give them that.

(Please note my praise here for HBC.)

Re: where would you put your pumkin?
 

yes we get compost bins i have four down the allottment all almost full so they could never accuse me of not doing my bit

Re: where would you put your pumkin?

Re: where would you put your pumkin?
 

Well have you thought of drying the pumkins to smoke, until your baccy crop is ready?:D

You could cut out the middle (wo)man and just chop and flush but I don't want to be held responsible for any bunged up loos. :eek:

eewww yuk think i prefer to take my chances with the next collection .lol
Any way why on earth should i do anymore work for these "more than my jobs worth " numptys when im in the right ,to me pumkins belong in the green bin , im sorry but if these lads were able to take it home and make use of it they would soon take it wether its in the right bin or not . I do my bit now its time they do theirs and get on with what they are payed to do and take our rubbish away.. (gripe over):D
