I can just hear the shouts and screams, the moans and the groans if they were ever crazy enough to return to the old system of rubbish removal, the bill must have been enormous, each bin wagon had a crew of about ten men, it must have taken about ten times longer to clear a street. Would the members on here still be shouting for the old system when the rates bill was hiked up to cover the cost. The reason the old bins were collected each week was because of there size, the two bins most families have are more than enough, they probably hold about 5 times the amount of the old bin, if the bins are used correctly. Why is it thought that binmen earn to much, i don't know what they earn but good luck to them whatever it is, it is scandalous that working people are suggesting that other working people are earning to much. If anyone feels aggrieved at the system, its the management or the council that should be got at and not the workers who work it.

A few people have commented on the bin-mens pay. I hope they know how much they are paid before decrying them.
My mate was a bin-man and he was close enough to minimum wage. On change of contract they got paid less.

As my kids say,in the olden days everyone had open fires so people used to burn there rubbish so there probably wasnt as much waste apart from the ash.Ive got 2 green bins & 1 grey one also got an open fire. I only use the second green bin round Christmas or if the weathers bad & the bin men have'nt been or if my neighbours bins are full I let them use my other bin
no1s gonna keep me from u

Biggest difference is the amount of packaged food we buy these days, most of my "usual" bin is mostly food packaging.
I guess the free-papers and numerous pamphlets or junk-mail contribute quite a bit now.
