19 March - Here we go again

Back on the hobby horse…

Coptefield Drive paper bin Coptefield Drive paper bin Coptefield Drive paper bin Coptefield Drive paper binI forget how many times I have been around this loop but after seeing the lamentable performance of the refuse boss at Scrutiny this week I am not expecting a solution any time soon.

Once again CountryStyle has failed to empty the paper bin that serves the flats opposite my house but for the first time (including Serco) have left a note of the reason why.

It’s contaminated again; it is every week. What do they expect?

The bin is left facing the wall so the access slot is out of reach, flat occupants wrench it open thereby destroying the hinge and removing the lock so that the whole lid can be raised which in turn allows whole sackloads of rubbish to be thrown in.

Unlike an individual wheelie bin where its user can empty and rectify the situation no one is going to do it where a block of flats is concerned so the situation will remain as it is. Week after week the paper and cardboard will pile ever higher whilst Bexley Council ignores the basic problem. Due to CountryStyle operatives’ carelessness, the ten month old bin has been wrecked by the feckless, and no one at Bexley Council is interested in anything other than allowing history to repeat itself.

Note: The bin was emptied on 1st April.
