friggin binmen

im ferkin sick of this thing with the binmen only emptying the bin every fortnight. cheeky bleeders left mine this morning because it was `too full` so I rang up and complained. they said you have to write to your local councillor but the main address is below so everyone should write in and moan about it so they`ll do something about it. the honourabel members for great lever are called Mr Hussain, Mr Idrees and Mr Ayub (sigh!)

probably true, but the key vote swinger in bolton was the bin issue

 

no overall control, but the 2 with the biggest share both promised to bring back weekly collections and are doing that

 

credit where credit is due

 

slate them later :D

Fairy Nuff

All bins should be jet washed when they are empty, this should be a service provided by Fire-Fighters when they aren't doing anything else

 

 

Rearrange this:

 

To F??ck Get. I have enough to do with fitting FREE 10 year smoke alarms.

 

Anyone in the Greater Manchester area not yet got a smoke alarm? Phone your local Fire Station and ask for one.

 

Or if you live in the Bolton area PM me with:

 

Name

Address

Phone Number

Number of kids in household

anyone who would struggle to escape if you had a fire at home.

 

You will get a visit by me or one of my colleagues and discuss ways you can help yourself to avoid fires. Chip pans, smoking, overloaded sockets, matches/lighter safety if you have youngsters, etc.

 

 

Good Lord, I'll have to claim a few hours Community Fire Safety work now! :D

 

Is this before your gardening round and after your taxi driving?

 

 

:D

incredible but the wife voted because of this. madness. they could have had policies about eating children - but she wants her bin emptying weekly (cue the mass abuse!!!) :D

i have faithfully stuck to the recycling agenda. but i am struggling with it. that stupid poxy green box you get for plastic/glass/foil etc was useless. i now have 3 of them, which is just enough for 2 weeks worth of stuff. its a pain having them in the back garden, i dont want my kids putting their hands in a box of glass and opened cans, leaving them in the back street for collection means they get messed about with and there is a usual trail of rubbish strewn over the backstreet, plus idiotic young fools who think its fun to throw glass bottles etc.

im going to ask them for a wheelie bin instead of those stupid boxes.

all veg/fuit and garden waste goes faithfully into the green wheelie bin, but thats only needed to be emptied once since i got it months ago. i gave up on the paper thing after it wasnt collected for a while and there were papers strewn all over the backstreet ( usually soggy from our great english weather). ive taken to shredding it all and putting it in the garden waste bin as it can be composted safely,along with egg boxes etc.

i crush all my rubbish now in an effort to make my wheelie bin contain 2 weeks worth or general household rubbish, and despite recycling as much as i possibly can i still cannot cope with my bin being emptied once a fortnight and have had to go to the tip several times.

there are no doubt people moaning about this who havnt really made much of an effort,but i genuinley have and its still not feasable.

for gawds sake im even putting tea bags and potato peelings in the right bin and it just doesnt bloody work.

i do believe we should recycle, and will continue to do so even if they bring back weekly colections- im just angry that were expected to recycle under a shite collection system that hinders rather than helps us to be more enviromentally friendly.

the way i see it i used to get 1 wheelie bin per week removed. so thats 4 a month. now i get 2 wheelie bins a month of general rubbish removed, plus 6 boxes of recycling stuff removed ( which doesnt even come to the equivalent of 1 wheelie bin full per month) call it 3/4 of a bin a month. all the compostable stuff and paper, only needs to be emptied every 4 months, so call that a 1/4 of a bin a month.

all in all that totals 3 wheelie bins a month at the very maximum.

so im still losing a full bin a month even though i recycle. plus im having to go to the tip and have cats going through the binbags that sit around in the garden. it obviously doesnt work.

ill let you know the councils response to the letter i wrote to them.

Mrs C has too much time on her hands. You should be on your hands and knees scrubbing the kitchen floor, young lady [-X

 

:D
