Congratulations to Doncaster “Maggot” council!
We’d just like to congratulate Doncaster Council and our dear government for their once every two week black bin collection, we now have a fantastic supply of maggots which some fishermen might be interested in.
Our council collect our main waste rubbish bin once every two weeks, however our bin fills up within the first week. They then collect the green bin every 2 weeks and this bin is for hedge trimmings, gardening, etc all the things which don’t fill a bin up often, hardly anyone on our street puts their green bin out all the time.
I complained about this and nothing ever happened, our bin fills up and then we bag rubbish next to it, but the bin men won’t take bagged rubbish and they wont take the bin if the lid is too far up as we’ve learnt form their shitty red stickers which threaten to take us to court for paying council tax and getting an piss poor service.
MAGGOTS IS WHAT OUR LABOUR COUNCIL GIVE US!!!!
So the bin is emptied on a Thursday morning, sometimes late after-afternoon. Food waste is then thrown in the bin either that day (with the piled up bags from previous days that they refuse to take and won’t fit in the bin) or the following day, that food waste is then sat there festering for up to 14 days and in this heat it gets rather smelly.
Get the bins cleaned and stop telling me its my job to go to the local garbage disposal centre for extra rubbish, its not my job to do yours!
Ohh and get this, they moved all our cardboard collection to a little green box (was originally the big green wheelie bins which now hardly gets used) which they collect weekly, well we fill two boxes up a week.
My suggestion is collect the black bin three times a month and the green once.
Here are some images for everyone’s enjoyment, Helen gipped and nearly threw up when she discovered them.
Most of the maggots feel to the bottom of the bin as it was opened but you can see a fair few there, there are probably a couple of hundred scattered across the path as well now.
Are Doncaster council trying to bring the rats back with a side order of black death (plague), I hope the government local and national know that rats won’t pay all those extortionate council taxes if they move in. 
Tasty, ehhhhh.
The Battle Of Cancer
When you start to think this world may just have a little decency in it, when MP’s are thrown out for thieving from the public and this country starts to save some money when the government was saying we need to pay higher taxes to line their pockets, you then realise there is more to life than that what those blood sucking leaches are trying to steal.
I suppose in that paragraph I was talking metaphorically by indirectly implying that MP’s and our government are the cancer of Briton eating away at our every day lives…………………………
This week we have been given another blow to our family, in 2005 I lost my father to cancer, a year later his brother, my uncle and this weekend we learnt the shocking news that my Aunty Margaret has terminal cancer of the stomach. Currently my mother, her sister is on vacation in Spain and as a family we elected not to ruin her holiday by telling her, but this is killing me in side every time she calls I just want to tell her, even as an adult I just want to hug her and have her tell me everything will be OK, I realise this is the selfish child in me wanting to know there are no wrongs in this world when in fact that’s far from the truth. I still miss those cuddles with my father, he remained strong through out the battle against cancer, he was my rock and my inspiration and in life I aspire to be more like him although by my own admission I always fall short.
Cancer is horrible it slowly eats away at you, my father had lung cancer which slowly deprived him of oxygen, he went from being a big strong man into bone, he lost so much weight and now I can see this again in my Aunt and it’s heartbreaking. When people ask why I no longer have faith in any religion then this is my answer, how can I have faith something which is killing the people I love when we do nothing wrong.
Now back onto the government part and for a reason, my father was miss diagnosed, he had a reacurring chest infections which his GP just kept suppressing with antibiotics and never sent him for a scan, it took a bout of pneumonia to get the scans needed to find the two tumours in his left and right lung. Later he was given a prescription from a GP which he went and handed into his usual pharmacist, the pharmacist realised instantly that if he had taken this medication it would have reacted with his other medication and killed him instantly. Now if he had not used the usual pharmacist then the pharmacist would not have known my fathers normal medication and would have happily given it him.
Now for the last few months they’ve been treating my Aunt for gallstones when it turns out it was actually cancer, she had complained to GP for a while before that about stomach issues (pains, cramps, etc) but again nothing was ever done and now because of the misdiagnosis and inactions of some over paid idiots my Aunt and our family have to suffer yet again!
In this day and age when the NHS says “We need more funds, we simply don’t have enough money to function correctly” and the government says “We need more funds, we’re not stealing enough money”, it makes you wonder at what price we, the public have to pay to get a competent level of service for what we pay for, huh even the bin men can’t do their jobs properly (we had a rat jump out of our bin the other day)…….
Either way you look at this, the government, the local GP’s and the NHS are killing our family………………………..
I was going to end on that comment, but felt it wrong because not all the NHS is failing, I have had good experiences albeit not that many.
The government are like the Sheriffs of Nottingham, rob from the poor to pay the rich. Could one of the other parties like UKIP be our Robin Hood, or are they all filthy, robbing, scum?
Green Bin Council – Speedy
Well, two members of the council just arrived and that was speedy. When complaining over the phone I’d expected it be a week or so before attention was given but I was wrong them came quickly. I don’t recall offering biscuits!
So they sifted through our rubbish which I’d already tipped all over the back garden, they pointed out most of what we recycled actually couldn’t be recycled by them and would either have to go in the black bin or taken to the recycling center up the road from us.
I then asked about better education of what we can and can’t throw in these bins. The young chap then handed me a brown envelope some moments later which contained information we’d already seen before.
I then raised the point about why some months ago rubbish was taken from our black bin and left. I was told that the refuge collectors should of left reasons why which they didn’t. But I was informed I should either continue to stick this waste in the black bin or take it to the recycling center. Well actually it’s not a recycling center as such, we always call it a dump or a tip. Whether they recycle not is another question.
In the envelope they gave me there was a letter which stated something about a ‘Zero waste strategy’ that they currently have under way. I find it hard to believe they mean that or even try to meet that goal!
Out of the things we buy from the super market we can not recycle the following in our green bin, despite them taking this rubbish for many years, fresh juice cartons, thin pizza boxes (Not fresh pizza) and quite a lot of other food packaging (Non-contact) which they’d always taken previously.
I’ve calmed down a lot since my first blog this morning on the matter, but I’m still annoyed about all this. I said that if I’m to personally take cardboard and other items to the dump, could I at least request another green bin for storing the rubbish until I take it. They refused and said I could buy a bin from B&Q.
No if they had said something when they didn’t collect the first time two weeks ago then we could of taken measures to ensure they did this week and the next time they take rubbish out of our black bin and leave it in our driveway, I’ll complain again because if it can’t go in either bin then where can it go.
