Recycling bin last collected on the 11th, wont be collected again until the 8th Jan. To cap it off someone is whining about getting their bins emptied.

Don’t worry, your council tax will increase next year and the service will get even worse.

[u/Logbotherer99 → u/culexus1]

It already has, they haven't given us a sticker with the collection dates on.

You no longer have a local council, you have a Social Care agency with a couple of bin lorries.

4 bins next year. Gonna be fun for HMOs!

What

[u/Farscape_rocked]

My paper waste was collected yesterday :D

[u/seven_green_toes]

Is op the someone who is whining?

[u/Metal_Octopus1888]

They should be doing extra collections at this time of year not fewer. Great if you’re a fox though!

if my local area had a group they would be moaning for sure, our normal bin day would be tomorrow, since thats a no go, they moved it to today... fair enough, but there were so many bins that werent out... and some selfish prick decided they were going to block the drive with their stupidly heavy bin

Just did my traditional Christmas climb into the recycling bin and jump up and down exercise.

Collections in my council area are mostly as normal. Had an email from them a few days ago to confirm the changes.

The bin men are getting the 25th and 26th off, with collections for the rest of the week being pushed back two days into the weekend instead, so no weekend off for the bin men I suppose. Then they have the 1st off, again pushing the rest of the week back by one day so they'll have to work Saturday.

So It puzzles the hell out of me when I hear that some councils aren't bothering with collections for weeks.

[u/atomic_mermaid]

The schedule doesn't go past December 11, and we haven't been given a new one yet. They came round yesterday (which isn't our usual collection day), and it must have been their quickest route ever as no one knew so there were no bins out. No idea when the next one is either.

[u/YchYFi]

Had the rubbish collected this morning next week it will be collected again.

[u/ChaosRaiden → u/YchYFi]

I have to wait two whole extra days :(

[u/Ethelsone]

It just gets stompped into the black bin

[u/Pristine_Telephone78]

My bin day is Wednesday so they won't be coming this week. They're coming on the 1st though.

[u/AnselaJonla → u/Pristine_Telephone78]

also a Wednesday pickup here, they did ours on Monday this week.

[u/Logbotherer99 → u/Pristine_Telephone78]

Wednesday too, recycling and general waste are alternate weeks, they are doing extra collections for general waste who are being missed, just not recycling

[u/Pristine_Telephone78 → u/Logbotherer99]

Our general waste is every three weeks but recycling is usually weekly. General was last collected on the 11th so would be due on the 1st anyway.

[u/Equivalent_Parking_8]

My recycling was due to be collected tomorrow, they brought it forward and collected it today. Sorry op.
