Well, as a conversation stopper, I think they should bring the rag shop back, at least we got one penny for the jam jars and (?) per pound for the textiles, wool brought the best price.

Well, in my experience whenever a council tries to stop you putting side bags out, it causes more hassle for the council than just collecting the side bags. And as I've said not every houshold needs to put sidebags out.
I vote your council totaly useless and incompetant, even more so than our useless council.

I`ve got a better idea than microchipped wheelie bins. Send all the rubbish to Whinney Hill tip, then get local criminals on community service to sort the rubbish out for us. Thirteen weeks on the tip will do them the world of good.

Thirteen minutes and then they will want clemencey. Add to that someone would claim it was against their human rights.

My problem is that we mostly are not in Ossy on refuse collection days, and I don't want to put the bin out on a Sunday evening. We have a fantastic neighbour, Keith, who checks the bin every so often and puts it out for us BUT it's the box with the bottles that's the real problem. God knows what the binmen think when I remember to either put it out or ask Keith - we look like a lapsed branch of Alcoholics Anonymous!

You mean your not?

Certainly not, dear boy - never joined in the first place, so can't lapse! (And anyway I do get some help filling the box from various members of Accyweb).

Do they ~Madhatter Invites self round~

accymel · 17-03-2006, 16:04

Well im confused

cos our regular recycle/bin day is friday, today was recycle on usual terms but now they are changing the days starting from next week curtousy of HBC calender thingy so according to that recyle is next wednesday - but they took the recycling today as would be normal

Sooooo are they coming back to recycle little cos most has been done today despite grey bin supposed to be emptied next week

???

Why do they have to change a perfectly working normal service that people have got into habit of just to confuse everyone for their purpose

So what is it next week bin or recycle & what day are we gonna bet on wed or normal fri ???

They do it to prove they can, they're council, so we can't expect any logic to what they do.

When the council actually gets the recycling run right the domestic run will go to pots. The main aim in life for the council is to confuse the population and they are experts at it.

I asked that for you all when I phoned them. It might be a little odd during the change but it is to make the over all collections better organised for them.
