As many know, I'm on a fortnightly rubbish collection here in deepest Northamptonshire (well, its normal rubbish one week, then 'compostable' the next).
As my 'compostable' collection fell on the 28th, they have cancelled that as its a Bank Holiday. No problem, I understand that.
But my normal rubbish was last emptied on 7th December - due to weather, they could not do it yesterday. No problem, I understand the weather conditions have caused delays. However, what have the useless, retarded, gormless, incompitent office tossers done to rectify this? Sweet FA. They have just cancelled our collection. They are not going to attempt to mop up areas they have missed, or do any rescheduling (as according to the useless girl I spoke to, thats too difficult to plan). My next collect is 4th January. Thats a rather month since the last collection of any description.
Now I live on the edge of town. We get lots of foxes this time of year scavanging for food - worse since the hunting ban, obviously. There are lots of cats on the estate. The wheelie bin is already overflowing with rubbish (pre christmas tidy up in the TB household). Can't fit a rizzla paper in it. Neighbours in the same boat - wheelie bin lids flapping in the wind, as cannot be closed.
So what words of advice from the local retarded office tossers at the council? "Put your rubbish in a black sack, and keep it inside, so wildlife and pets do not cause a mess".
Is it me? Am I being unreasonable?
I pay these useless breakwits £1800 a year, and the only service I get from them is emptying the bins 26 25 times a year.

My advice TB is to pile all your, and your neighbours, rubbish in the middle of your road and burn it, which will then also defrost the highway the council probably have not cleared!! ::) ::) ::) ;D ;D ;)

Council have already said no to refunds if I do their job. They also suggested I should not leave it at their reception as I planned.
Trouble is, wouldn't get much in the MV6 with its lpg tank, so several 16 miles journeys, plus all the queuing as everyone else in same boat. And I don't want 'dirty' rubbish in my car. I'd use hers, but that means clearing a snow mound first.
Why the hell can't they prioritise collections, based on last collection. Only answer I got was "Its too difficult", but no further elaboration when quizzed. I'm guessing its simply because the suits would have to get off their fat arses and actually do some work.
Bloody useless, incompitent, unemployable, thick, lazy, stupid, bloody retards >:(

and your weekly (it is weekly cos they come every week but just don't collect your residual waste every week) bin collection probably accounts for a couple of quid a week - if that - from your 'rates'. Social services will get the lion's share. ;) ;)

I've tried that before. "Oi! Mate! That's bin waste" " We don't do bin waste".
They might not, but the pavement outside did. ;D

On a fortnightly schedule my bin was due to be emptied last Friday - it wasn't - I'm now told that it won't be until Dec 31st.
Not that there's much in it all the same.
-
Business as usual here.... :P. We even got our little close gritted by the gritter lorry for the second time in a fortnight. :P :P.
Although if we'd had more snow, and our collections fell on a bank holiday I'm sure it would be a different story.... But credit whet it's due, Reading council been prerty good so far.

Take it to the reception anyway and when they say we can't collect it again. Tell em' that "I got here to to the reception why can't you drive your vehicles up/down the same road to pick it up then" ::)
And why can't they get some logic into the services, Snow plough clears the road, Gritter follows to help keep it clear, Refuse wagon follows gritter to help clear mess up for residents - seams logical to me :o

Might as well, can't exactly put it in the bin :P
I never actually seen the bins being emptied, but each time i got down i always use the same one and its always empty ::)
Maybe same people who control the bin pickups, also decide traffic calming. I mean what pillock decided to reverse the priority on the S bend thingy down Pavilons Way ::) >:(

Doesn't really affect me, as I don't often go that way, but ultimately it makes little difference which way the priority is...

Had chats with the people who made up the Christmas planning, and the contingency plans.
Seems their plan is, is a collection is missed, it gets picked up next time around. If collection falls on a bank holiday, it gets picked up next time around.
Whilst that could work, it falls flat on its face when you have fortnightly collections.
I know I'm just the stupid kid from the local comprehensive, but to be, this really does highlight the 5 P's
SNC do not see piling up rubbish in black sacks for a month in the streets as a problem. Or inviting vermin into the towns as a problem. Or kids touching the strewn rubbish as a problem, because they will wash their hands before putting in mouth. Yeah, right.
-
We have fortnightly collections and those tiny tiny wheelie bins here (you know, the extra small ones that are too small for a pizza box to fit in) - back in Feb we didn't get a collection for weeks.. I was alright, but next door - whose full size bin is always overflowing onto the street anyway - had sacks and sacks of crap..
Not that they keep any of it in their massive driveway, oh no, they leave it all out in the carpark outside my house. Which is nice.
I wondered if we'd suffer a lack of collections this time but thankfully no. Although I did come back from work yesterday (collection day) to find that not only did they collect my rubbish.. but someone has also 'collected' my wheelie bin! :-?

Might make your eyes water somewhat lol :o :o :o ;D ;D ;D

speak to the reporters at the local rag and I would think you could get front page - "Residents in arms at refuse fiasco - vermin out of control in outer Brackley - car enthusiast bitten by fox".
Also get a few people to ring up the council like you have or do it via www.fixmystreet.com where your issue goes straight to your Council from website (based on post code).
Me and a couple of others are about to leaflet 250 houses to get a nearby road resurfaced. Hell could freeze over whilst I am waiting - but you have to make an effort.
-
oh and send in some photos as well for effect.

Given the chaotic state of our country PS it would appear that hell has already frozen over. :( :(

Now that I am poised to move one of the few things I will miss is a weekly refuse collection. Houses have had the fortnighly collection for some time, but clearly the council can't cope with the concept of flats etc so I still get a weekly collection.
Only downside is that in my minor road I'll never see a gritter but so long as I can get to the end of it I'm straight off a main road.
