26 January (Part 1) - Keep Bexley UnTidy

Untidy binsMy neighbour’s green bin stood out on the pavement for two weeks presumably because the collection crew had defective eyesight. Inevitably it became overfilled with the lid left open - and the rain came.

Yesterday when I transferred the excess rubbish to my own bin because I didn’t want to see it left behind for another two weeks, the accumulated water made the bin ridiculously heavy.

However the good news was that the bin collectors had had their eyes seen to over the past fortnight and both my bin and next door’s were emptied.

Not such good news is that the Lazy Dump Them Anywhere Lot were doing this week's blue lidded bins. In the top left corner of the photograph a third bin is dumped. Who it belongs to I have no idea because there are no houses on the right hand side of the road.

Haphazard dumping has unfortunate consequences. Next door at No. 4 has a green bin marked No. 18 which is smaller than their own and arguably responsible for the overfilling. If I had not moved some of their rubbish to my bin it might not have been emptied at all and that injustice would have been entirely due to Country Style’s failure to do their job properly.

Extensive searches for green bin No. 4 have failed to locate it.
