Seems to me the bins thingies are getting later and later in terms of collection.

Anyone have any idea what's gonig on?

Is the council building up to a we can only collect the bins every 2 weeks spraf or is there some other reason.

For years there hasn't been any problem and now they are getting later and later.

Also do we have to pay the bin men over time / extra money for working so late?

[s]Binmen[/s] Rubbish collection technicians bumbling around Bonaly when I cycled home at 7pm this evening too. New schedules caused by the introduction of the food bins? I'll not be loosing sleep over it*

* As long as I don't want to be in bed at 9.15pm

My bin is emptied at 6:15am every Friday morning.

I'd be quite happy with 9:15pm as it wouldn't wake me up.

The bin men have a monopoly I believe, they can do what they like

Think yourself lucky. Ours is between 4 and 5am. Otherwise it'd interfere with the totally obnoxious delivery lorries that start at 5:30am.
