Rubbish collection Options

[Ron]

Did anyone get their rubbish collected on Friday as per leaflet from the Council and its contractor?

Mine was collected on the specified day (in my case Thursday - as notified, two days later than usual). They took my paper and plastic recycling, but left the glass (I guess they were full from all the drunken orgies in the neighbourhood )

They finally came on 5th Jan but, just like you, they only took the paper and plastic. I, a little paranoid, checked my glass to make sure there was nothing that could have caused them to leave it but it looked ok to me! Have they decided not to collect glass now?

I think the simple answer is that they only have a certain capacity for each type on their lorries, and the holiday period would have generated a lot of extra glass waste.

Since they are in catch-up mode, I imagine they don't have time to offload and come back. Unless you are a dedicated wino, I'm guessing you still have space in your box for a bit more

Hmmm, last time I saw them doing the recycling they tipped all of my carefully sorted recycling into my empty black rubbish bin at once and then tipped it all into the recycling lorry. They also haven't taken the garden waste away either but they normally take that in the normal rubbish lorry. I find it all quite confusing although I DO prefer things to be a little more organised!

The green waste goes into a different wagon and that's all it collects, at least round my way. Green waste collection has been suspended until Jan 24th, and given the weather, doing stuff in the garden was not high on my list.
