Go On! Say what you Really want to. :D:D:D:D Give us a laugh.

Its no busier for them, They still only empty one fookin bin and won't take it if the lid is raise by 1cm with a bag stuck out.

 

Fook em I say

:duffer:

We just switched to wheelies a couple of months ago, my dad got pissed off when they would'nt take an extra bag at the side so he wrote to them - next day another wheelie bin was delivered to us, so now we have loads of room for our shit. :D

I left my binmen a christmas present - a half eaten turkey leg and the left over christmas pud, nicely wrapped in a black bag with the knot tied in a pretty bow :rofl:

the cheeky fat fooker that empties my bin looks inside and takes out things that aint supposed to be in there, i usally drop a few piles of dog shite in there to get his fingers stuck into

I'm with this man here......and when you phone up for a SPECIAL lift they have a checklist of what you said you were putting out, doesn't matter that you found a old stereo and thought "seeing as I'm paying for this one..." to be told "it's not on our list"

 

And they are like the bloody clean police......We can't take that away cos it shouldn't be in your bin....?!!?!? What the hell is all that about !!

It is in MY bin because as far as I'M concerned it is RUBBISH.....you can call it garden waste....but its all "rubbish" to me and it all goes in a bloody bin.

 

A neighbour of my fiancees had to get a special lift for an old garage he was taking down and..."oh oh oh we can't lift that - YOU have to cut it up into 1 man sized peices" then to be told "we can't lift that as it contains asbestos, and YOU will have to pay a specialist company"....he promply called the council and informed them that when he was building the garage (all those years ago) THEY insisted that it MUST be made from the materials it was made from....so for the council to TELL him to build it will asbestos filled stuff then refuse to take it away was rediculous....needless to say it was lifted the next day.

 

Binmen have got it SSSSOOOOOO easy nowadays.....think of all those years ago when they had to come into your area and LIFT the bin out to the van to empty it then RETURN your bin back to where the got it. Now they wheel it onto the machine, press the botton and wheel it back.....like it has been said - they LIFT nothing else lying around them, they wont empty it if it is "too full" and they want YOU to wheel your bin out to the edge of the road for it to be emptied.....god help us all when "it wasn't close enough to the kerb" crap starts coming from them.

You lot of miserable bums, I tell you what deduct what you think its worth and then take all your crap to the tip yourself.

 

In Aus if your bins not in the right position on the kerb it wont get emptied because the driver doesn't leave the cab and I didn't see any other bin men working at all.

we just put sacks out, they put them in a pile, then 4 hours later come round again and pick them all up

Deduct? what from what I think it's worth?.....it's all included in the council tax up here....we'd need to know what it is costing just now.....

In fact it would be interesting to see "value for money-wise" whethere we were getting a better service say 15-20 years ago or now!

Told you it's coming!! Not close enough to the kerb malarky!!

 

----forgot to add the binmen USED to go round everyone once a week.....now it is everyone basically once a fortnight....cos they have the stupid recycle bins, now your REAL bin gets emptied every two weeks.

Well my bins are only half full in two weeks because I recycle.

 

My recycle tubs get emptied every week and its only when I forget to put the bins out that they get full.

our recycle bins get scrutinised for what you can put in them too :rofl:

 

I put an old wooden garden fence in the "Garden Waste Bin" and guess what - it's not garden waste......I wonder what feckin trees are made of then!

 

In the paper recycling bin you CANT put in Cardboard, Yellow Pages, or envelopes otherwise they don't empty it...so it is easier rather than being anal about it to throw it all in the usual rubbish bit and recycle...ehm....nothing!

 

On the other had the other local council close to us allows you to put almost anything in there....and guess what.....the council will sort it when they get the the dump :)

You are allowed carboard, paper, tins, plastics all sorts :)

Waite till you have to pay extra for the weight of your bin

Its not the bin mens fault its the eco warriors, the health and safety do gooders and the penny pinching councils fault.

 

All this crap is turning men to mice.

 

I got a nice note saying that they would not take bags at the side of the bin, only when they picked it up the bag, it split and all the cat shit went on the pavement and they had to clean it up!!

i must be strange as i put my bin out about once a month if that no idea why but i dont generate a lot of rubbish

I always give the binmen a christmas tip gave them a tray of lager this year and never have problems and if I have an extra bag or 2 they will let me put them straight onto the wagon.If you treat them with respect instead of contempt its amazing how it helps

how can i treat them with anything, they dont turn up till either 1 in the afternoon or flipping 5 in the morning lol

 

Must say i think the postie has a thankless job, ours was walking around on his tod absolutely freezing all day yesterday!
