Is it just me that find wheelie bins noise-polluters?


SNIP...........

Don't get me on wheelie bins.
As many will point out, they must be positioned with pin-point accuracy and
oriented to the nth degree to stand a chance of avoiding the George Orwell
sticker treatment. As for any degree of overloading - forget it.
As a family of four we generate about 5-6 bin bags of rubbish per week - and
yes that is with recycling everything possible. Previously these would all
have been removed.
So us and families like us make individual trips to the tip creating noise
pollution, environmental pollution and using far more resources of course,
to take the rubbish that won't fit in the one-size-suits-noone wheelie bin.
The council gets the same money for removing about 40% less waste.
The bin-men (refuse relocation engineers) get ideas above their station
because they are given a degree of control over what should and should not
be removed/acceptable practice.

Progress.............Pah

Has anyone tried dumping the refuse that is refused collection in their
local council office and demanding that they see to it?
And what was the result?
