My bin bother (From York Press)

  There is a set of rules laid down by the Council in regard to times and placing of `wheeled bins` in the street. However, it is apparent that the rules are purely one sided. When it comes to emptying and replacing they can be put anywhere within a twenty metre radius of one's property.I have given up on the boxes idea because they can finish up anywhere, particularly on a windy day. Even the waste department are unable to tell the binmen how to do their job or so it appears.

  I feel your pain. I live in a terraced street where we can either put bags out the front of our house or wheelie bins down the alley.
  The bin men used to walk up the 150 meters or so to collect the wheelie bins from outside our back gate but now we need to wheel them to the bottom or they don’t get emptied. I do this happily as it’s no hardship.

  However on recycling days we have to put them out the front and as Bolero mentions, the boxes and lids get scattered all over the place, lids often right outside the door which could be dangerous if you don’t notice it when stepping out!
  there is always shed loads of rubbish left over littering the street and now I’ve had 2 of my boxes taken and the council cant replacer them till April!!??
  .
  I would love to get a job as head of waste as the person in charge now clearly is useless!"
