Before continuing with my posting I have been out to check that the contents of my wheelie bin, 2 small lightweight bags, are still there after the main collection on Tuesday and are the reason for my emails, phone calls and automatic telephone messages, including the email headed complaint.My wheelie bin this week contained two small bags of household rubbish. Topping them was another bag with two pillows and topping the lot, just under the lid, which was closed, was my bag of street litter and front garden litter. This is always a small bag with around 10 or so pieces found on the pavement and gutter outside in the street and some which has blown into our front garden, I have a long handled litter picker for this. It makes sense to use it as often the street cleaner pops around when the rubbish has blown into the garden, so he doesn't pick it up, and the next puff of wind blows it back out into the gutter again.The top bag and the pillows were taken and the remainder was left. My first though was, as we make mistakes as we start this recycling cycle, that having closed the lid the bin men didn't see the remaining bags. Our dustmen are great, and I often post about them being worth their weight in gold, so I could not see any other reason. The knock on effect under this level of supervision is that half my bin is filled so I won't have enough room for next weeks rubbish, so I reported the missed collection and the mystery is it is still missed. I have even sent them some photos. :(
