Forums Forums Street News Binmen refused to collect the bin

Binmen my arse... Henchmen working for another gang of golden handshake thugs.
Fines? More like another highway robbery "Stand and deliver!"
Take a look into this private company, see the money they make, yet your council tax will go up. Take a look into the houres and pay of these guys. Up early, why? When do they get home? See if you can find out what their pay is for the hours they work.
Grey bins... you are being conned suckers... Put it all in the green bin and take back control.

ps. idiots asking "since when has organic matter (pizza crust) been recyclable"

Well hello Icabod! Dont hold back - get it all out of yer system!

We seem to have more rubbish these days but going back when people used to have coal fires,some rubbish would of been burnt,probably more ashes & cinders than actual waste though

Top tip....just fill the recycling bin with any old crap and then put a layer of "recyclable" material on top....it fools the halfwits all the time!

There seems to be a downer on binmen on this thread, let us try to remember that they do an unpleasant job under onerous conditions, I don't think many on here would trade places with them.

Yes Icabod. Next time you respond, try to have an opinion.

Ichabod = "Sin Disobedience Idolatry", well I suppose using the wrong bin is not exactly revolutionary but it is a start.

I don't suppose binmen are paid much. I find the service OK. It's no trouble to have two bins and decide which one to put items in. Recycling is in all our interests and I am all for it. The only problem is remembering whether it's a grey bin or a green bin collection, but luckily Cortana reminds me of that.

It is interesting that in Japan, the children clean the school before they go home every day. The result is a society where cleaners are respected rather than reviled as seems the norm here.

I don't see what all the fuss about the bins. It's not exactly hard to do is it? I find the service ok and if do put wrong stuff in , well I soppose that's the only way to get the message out by not taking it. I used to put mine out night before but as Fish said people coming along sticking their rubbish in so put out in morning. Some people just do not like rules..

Usually the bin men stick a sticker on the bin if they find anything that was not supposed to be in the recycling stuff.

Really?

Cleaners in Japan are treated very differently to uk. A friend went to a Trade Fair, and the floor cleaner, with his machine accidentally caught the side of her shoe, which caused damage. She was told she had to buy a new pair. Because she didn't find a pair similar she didn't bother. 6 hrs later she was told that the cleaner was still waiting. He'd hadn't been allowed home until he'd paid her out of his pocket for her new shoes. Normal policy. She was horrified, and wouldn't accept it, but unfortunately he had to pay a days wages anyway. Then he could go home.

There appears to be a lot of comments on here regarding binmen, usually about how much work they do or how much they are getting paid, I wonder how those that are so critical of them would like to be put under a microscope about what they do or earn? or pulled to pieces for earning a living, the world is getting a sadder place if all we can do is pull somebody to pieces for earning an honest living or for losing their job

His opinion seems clear enough to me.

sorry it went over your head chris.
