2 April - Get yer brown bins out! Confused? Join the club
As emails from Bexley Council arrive in Inboxes across the borough…
Dear Sir/Madam
We apologise that the garden waste service has had to be suspended since the
23rd March 2020 due to the Coronavirus Pandemic reducing staffing levels.
To ensure that you get a full years’ service as per the terms and conditions of
the service we have added 8 weeks to your contract end date and delayed any
renewal payments in line with this.
Hopefully the service will be able to resume within this 8 weeks extension but
if not more time will be added to your contract as compensation.
Yours sincerely
The Garden Waste Team
… residents in dressing gowns are chasing brown bin collectors down many a street.
At just gone eight o’clock a collection truck came along the road collecting the
brown/garden bins!!!
I managed to get ours and several neighbours bins out and there was a lot of
calls to people further along the road warning them. Some made it but there were several who didn’t.
I spoke to one of the collectors and he said that it was only decided this
morning to do the collection. We have now put every bin out (as all neighbours
have done) since we have no idea what will be collected and when.
