Yes it is not as much manual labour as a Bin Man, but that said a Boeing is still pretty heavy and if you lose the Hydraulics you have to no power helping you love the controls, Which wth a 70 tonne aircraft travelling at 5°° Mph is pretty dammed stressful.
I don't wish the bin men any harm. Merry Christmas

I don't recall accusing you of being overpaid and please, I don't think there is a need for you to defend your job, I just find this thread emphasises the fact that the bin men obviously do a very important job.

Otherwise there wouldn't be such an outcry when suddenly they don't turn up, I do however wonder how most of us would cope if we had to follow instructions from above that obviously haven't been thought through otherwise, there would not be a need to discuss this chaos.

P.S. Seasons greeting to you too!

I can assure you that since the wife left all my waste generated is non-generic, any generic waste that she produced didn't go into the bin anyway! That went into the sewers for another set of forgotten workers to deal with, what a joy it must be to be a full-time, 'soiled waste operative', Seasons greetings to all of you, you unrecognised heroes but, forgive me if I am reluctant to shake your hand!

I'll happily shake their hands, as the wheelie bins around here have now been emptied.

I'll have to listen out for the audio version of Accy Web as well.

(If you're trying to tell us it was yourself who called someone, care to share who it was, as I know someone who made various calls and got no joy?)

Can't complain. Wheelie bin should have got emptied last Thursday, but the state of the backs i didn't really expect them to be emptied. Weren't disapointed cause they never got emptied. Whilst in bed monday i heard the bin waggon so quickly put bin back out. Recycling was today, and it all got collected within the last half hour.

I am another one that does not have a problem with fortnightly. I would prefer 1 recyclable and 1 non recyclable bin though instead of all the different collection bags and boxes.

Up until this little mix up, now resolved, I too am very happy with the service.

We do still have a weekly collection service, one week for recycling, the next for everything else.

As for the moaners who say the new service attracts vermin...rubbish!

There is much less food waste on the streets since wheelie bins were introduced. I've never seen a dog open one, which many did with the old bins, and black sacks, scattering the rubbish everywhere.

if you want to get the attention of the bin men just leave a big massive sign outside ya door saying ' bin men are all c**t's' perhaps that will get their attention

cant's ?

cant pick up crap they let blow into your garden from other peoples bins when they are emptying them because of health and safety

cant take an extra bin bag because of health and safety

cant lift a wheelie bin if its lid is slightly open because of health and safety

infact a lot of what bin men used to do cant be done under health and safety these days inclusing picking up after themselves
