15 June (Part 2) - CountryStyle wakes up

Bin emptying Bin emptying Bin emptying Bin emptyingI’ve lost count of the number of times I have moaned about the uncollected bins that are just a short distance from my house but the last time was on Monday.

Depending on one’s point of view, the contamination from which they suffer is caused by multi-culturism or CountryStyle’s inability to tackle the problem.

I am affected because the bins stink and the rubbish blows into my garden.

However this morning two men turned up in one truck and tipped the contents of all three bins (paper, glass, plastic and tins) into it so thanks are due to them. They even locked the two bins that have a lock but unfortunately replaced them in a different order from what has been traditional. I fear the illiterate are thus encouraged to put stuff in the wrong bin. The paper bin will attract small domestic appliances and building materials as it always does; without an effective lid abuse is all too easy.

I was a little sad to see everything tipped into the one truck. All that effort stripping brown tape from parcels, washing everything that is not spotless, peeling paper labels from tin cans and separating coffee jars into the three component parts of glass, plastic lid and circular cardboard insert was for nothing. All gone to landfill.

And the bins still stink.
