Your forgetting all the paper shufflers, and
the spies to see whats in you bin, and whether you put it out on the right day.
How much does a spy earn in a year, plus the transport to carry the ladder to peep over your back yard wall, and the one who holds the ladder, how much is he on, they he will have a secretary to type all his reports, it goes on and on.

I, remember reading in the Telegraph just recently, that Lancs County employ 70 staff in the publicity department. What the hell can you find to publicise, that need so many.
Thats more staff that some newspapers employ.

Can't understand why yours haven't been emptied. Sure Mum said today our kids was emptied same day as hers, think it was Monday but to late to check now. Will find out later today and let you know for sure

well its not looking like ours our getting done any time soon and if the clinical waste team dont show up tomorrow the poor sods down teh road will have 2 weeks worth of excrement and urine at teh end of tehir drive.

teh problem is if they dont put it out it is very hard to get them back to collect it and no one shoudl have to stock pile weeks worth of poop etc in their home yet alone standard rubbish an dit can be a bit embarrasing having weeks of excrement outside your house for all to see not to mention the health hazzard implications of it been left for cats to rip apart and fling around teh place

the council could at least provide bins for people who have clinical waste so that its secure when left outside for collection instead of plastic yellow binliners dumped at the kerb

They were very late collecting though, usually early morning and the bin was still full when I went to bed at 2pm ish.

I think they must still be struggling to get up and down the streets. They usually reverse up the back street but doubt they could have as the bottom of it is just ice from the melting snow.

ours has just bin emptied, if i hadn't bin in yard having a fag, would have missed collection.

It is stupid collecting on the wrong day without informing people. You are not allowed to leave your bin out all the time so most wont.

agree, aint bin mens fault but the clowns who organise, had no idea goin off e-mail they sent mick was end of next week.

Neil · 14-01-2010, 12:30

I wonder if they are just doing extra streets they can get down at the end of the rounds for the day.

garinda · 14-01-2010, 13:11

You'd have thought it common sense that up to date information re: collection days, changed because of the weather, would be listed on the council's website.

Other course it isn't. Common sense being as rare as an emptied bin.

Rossendale's idea, of getting council office workers, and the council Leader, out on the streets, to help get rubbish to main roads was a great idea.

It would have even been a great photo opportunity....for next year's calendar.

Hell, l hope our council never have to cope with a real emergency, rather than a few inches of the white stuff.
