Garden recycling collection
.... Was missed in our area last week. Neighbour used the online report form to say his had not been picked up, and we left him to do so, clearly thinking that the obvious bins and bags outside the other houses would be picked up too.Guess what? The online form does not allow for any comments and you can only report your own missed bin. So neighbour reported his and they came and picked his up, all of 10 feet from mine, and went away.I then tried the on line form, to report mine, and was told that the report of the missed collection was too late. Another neighbour has been having hearty conversations with the environment people as he reported his bin as not collected, this is 4 doors away from the picked up bin, and he saw the lorry come and pick up the one bin and leave the rest. He has been told it will be 15 days before anyone responds.We had to turn to our very busy and very responsive local Cllr Tony Louki and even his mail inside hasn’t made any sense of it. The bins and bags are still outside, and full. We really could have used the space over the weekend as it was a good clear up the garden type of weekend, but the bags are full so we have to leave the debris in a pile and then bag it when they eventually come. It is far easier to bag it as you go along, and we aren’t getting any younger.The full bins and bags are still there.Hey ho.
