we put our 2 bins out to only have 1 emptied just recently so it will go out this week as due and hopefully they will empty it along with the other.

They should allow 2 bins because you get larger households where 1 bin isn't enough to last 2 weeks, I certainly know with my wife and 2 house mates we fill the 1 bin up often before the collection date.

Yes, because it's not like people from the council can read this forum in their lunchbreak and already be aware of most of the tricks people try....hold on a moment, that's exactly what I'm doing! ;p

Given that fieldsy was stating that he was using underhanded methods on a public forum, I'd have thought it was pretty obvious that that was what my comment was relating to - certainly not directed at everyone.
Taking fieldsy's comments on face value, he appears to not be entitled to an additional bin yet utilising a service that costs money - would you like to elaborate on how that makes me a jobsworth Bandy? Or would you prefer that a local authority throws money round randomly because someone clicks their fingers?
While I'm not on here in an official capacity, as I know what is happening on this issue, I'm happy to offer any clarification that is required (name calling notwithstanding!)
I have to say I'm particularly offended by the jobsworth comment - I doubt there's anyone here who's had a job where they can ignore their parameters or regulations utterly (especially in the Royal Marines dave_h) - but as anyone who's dealt with me could attest, I apply common sense where at all possible (and if there's anyone on here that's had their 2nd bin sorted out lately the likelihood is that they've spoken to me)

Like I would know all about what? As an ex soldier, I've got a fair understanding of working within reg's and your pic suggests you're an ex marine - so that would indicate a similar understanding on your part. Or have I completely misinterpreted the commando dagger below your name?

I make a comment suggesting that broadcasting the fact that someone's doing something sneaky on a public forum that could be read by the people they're trying to deceive is somewhat self-defeating in the covert-stakes and that makes me a jobsworth?
