QUOTE (Chesapeake @ Jan 6 2011, 05:34 PM) They also haven't taken the garden waste away either but they normally take that in the normal rubbish lorry. 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.

QUOTE (Chesapeake @ Jan 6 2011, 05:34 PM) 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. QUOTE (RedDevil @ Jan 7 2011, 02:21 PM) I've noticed two different trucks collecting the recycling, the second one just does the glass. They don't come by at the same time luckily, or noone would be able to get their car past! Well, I don't know which company collects your respective stuff, but where I live Veolia normally takes all the recycling at once, early in the morning. The rubbish bin isn't emptied until around midday (so they'd have a job to use it to mix up the recycling).

The rubbish bin isn't emptied until around midday (so they'd have a job to use it to mix up the recycling). Yes, where I live there are two trucks that come from Veolia. The first one collects the normal waste first thing in the morning, usually around about 07:15 to 07:30 and then the recycling truck collects the recyling at approximately lunch time which is why they take advantage of my empty black bin. However, the garden waste is collected separately usually even later in the day. It all seems to be a waste of my time sorting it into the various bins and also a waste of our council tax as every other week there are 3 collections in one day! Well, hopefully every other week!
