What a load of rubbish!

You can take your black bins to the collection points. Oh and don't forget any elderly or infirm neighbors.

p.s I mean take their bins to the collection points not them...

i remember when the bin men used to go into your back garden, collect the bins then put them back, now if its not in the right place and the weather is poor then they wont touch them.

Bloody workshy

I can remember when bin men used to play for the wire!

Bloody idiots the populace of our fine town. It's ankle deep in frozen snow where I live, yet all the fools are out clanging their bins about. Several of them have already started the 'I'm special, I'm allowed seven black bin bags as well as a bin so full it won't close' idea. I walked past a few of them before I'd read the council advice about collection zones and said 'you having a laugh?'. There is no way they would put precious council workers out in cold weather.

All those bins will be flying down the hill very soon as sleds once the night is dark enough for the red eyed devil children to come out of their holes. There is going to be tons of rubbish around the streets and it's not even Christmas till Saturday.

That's ridiculous. The collection points are so far apart, how are you supposed to get there? I'm supposed to get there in my car but they can't get their trucks on the roads? I'm looking forward to seeing this reflected in my council tax bill as surely they aren't expecting us to pay for a non-service?

Suprised me this. I would have thought the council workers would have been happy to visit every street to wish the residents a Merry Christmas...................... during the week leading up to the big day

I remember when they had to put cast iron bins on their backs open and close gates and they did it all with smiles on their faces.Now we have to place bins where they want and have three bins to cope with black blue green on our property and when they empty them they leave them blocking our drive so we cant get the car in !!!!! Is this progress ?

TO55ERS. I remember the farce of early January, when there were no kerbside collections, but it was OK for them to get the bin lorries out and do the chippy run, tho.!!!!

Remember getting a tad irate when the bin men didn't take a couple of extra black bags I left
one Xmas. Got round to the back of the truck and stood there was Bob Jackson. Ended up having a chat about the Wire and the bags remained firmly on the pavement and forgotten about. Great bloke, great player, crap bin man.

I don't agree with privatisation but the its snowing everything stops attitude of WBC make a very good case for it.
At work we have a private contractor collect our rubbish and they turn up on time every week whatever the weather. In last January's bad weather they were on time with no problems whatsoever. Yet at the same time WBC were all running around like headless chickens saying no collections because of the weather.

I wonder what the Council would say if I was late or didn't bother paying my council tax.

or even if the bin lid is slightly open they wont take it on health and safety grounds..pathetic..wont be getting a happy christmas off me

WBC shambles but by all accounts most of the regional Borough Councils are as bad. Honestly, it's pathetic.

Can you imagine the risk analysis done prior to the decision?

WBC Boss "Dave, whats it like out there in't truck, pretty bad?
Bin Man (face full of pie): "o o nightmare boss, two hands on the wheel required all the way round boss, so no snacking on the move, it's just pointless. The lads are having to feed me on the move"
WBC Boss "TWO HANDS? NO SNACKING? Your Joking!? JEAN, get everybody a brew, we're in a state of emergency here. All services cancelled."
