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.

Well the community support people have been round, they looked at the photo’s and seem to think it’s perfectly fine to leave the handles right into the hedge even knowing that the wife and I might be away occasionally leaving my 72 year old mother to struggle with the wheely bin alone, there reply was “Can’t you ask one of your neighbours to help her”, we barely even speak to our neighbours most of time, everyone is always busy with their own life’s. My mothers not eligible to have the bin taken out and brought back in because the wife and I live here also.

Disgusting if you ask me!

They made the excuse of “that’s how the bin comes off the truck” so they can just toss it over to one side.

That’s OK though because next week I’ll be doing the exact same thing, only difference is the bin will be heavier due to the rubbish being in it and I’ll continue to do this for a long time to come, oh joy, what fun!

It just seems these guys don’t get it, honestly how hard can it be to do this job right.

Looks like I’m spending yet again more quality time on the phone complaining to the council again this week. They most certainly won’t be getting any tip this Christmas unless the tip is “Do you job properly” and they want lessons on how be a refuge collection person.

Well after my last blog about this I complained to the council but it seems nothing changes for the better, this week it was the black bin again, so I put it with the handles facing the road to make it easier for the dustbin men as I usually do.

They’ve just been, emptied the bin and lodged the handles in the hedge again this week. It wasn’t as bad as previous weeks because I could this time get one handle.

On the plus side, the bin was placed next to our drive this time and not down the road!

Oh well I suppose I should start putting the bin out the same way they bring it back!

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!
