Dumbbin Men, Sorry Dustbin Men

I recently posted a blog about our refuge collection personnel and them not taking some rubbish and now we have another issue with them, I’ll get to that in a few moments.

Recently we heard news about one council in Somerset I think, which has stated that a dustbin must not have it’s wheels even an inch on gravel incase our employee’s stumble and fall, yeah I know ridiculous.

Well please tell our dustmen to stop leaving our bin three mile down the bloody road, OK an over exageration but my mother lives here also, could you imagine if she had to go get the bin, a 72 year old woman being forced to walk down the street to get her bin, because some dustmen can’t simply leave it where it was put.

When they don’t leave it down the street, it’s been known on a couple of occasions to block the driveway so when I come home I can’t get the car straight in.

I have respect for people that do jobs like this, it’s hard, you’ve got to endure all weathers and it’s not the cleanest of jobs but it’s the small things that matter especially with Christmas tip season coming.

PS we don’t recycle as much now, it all goes in the Black bin now!
