To bin or not to bin

[STEED]

This one made me laugh and why? I believe starting next year every home with be getting a wheelie bins. I suggest to Portsmouth council and any other council in the same position stop wasting money and get your dustcart's updated, well as we all know this is a fact they will wast money on a reports first, oh dear.

Householders told NOT to put rubbish in dustbins - because binmen might hurt their backs lifting them

You Brits can be very strange sometimes.

Same in our council the only wheelie bin collection we acctually have is for green waste on a set lorry, not all of our lorries have bin lifts and we are a bag collection counci.

Bag work is easier than bin work but what makes it so stupid is if you have a full wheelie bin route then they should make 100% sure that the lorry is capible of doing the work its silly but its not the residents fault its the neglegence of the council they should have sent a lorry with a bin lift out so any claim should be made against the council for not supplying the proper equipment.

Also as a rule here on my council we will not collect wheelie bins unless the person is disabled, if its in a bin we will not get it out its left regardless.

Correct Kapitan, as you and I know and hopefully the rest of the U.K guys here know the council we always pass the buck and claim it's to expensive, they want to remember that the next time they agree to a fat pay rise and wast a vast sum of money on something.

It seems strange then that in my area the council have now supplied us with the following -

1 Standard Grey Wheelie Bin
1 Recycling Green Wheelie Bin
1 Plastic Box for Cans/Bottles
and a Sack for paper and newspaper

What's that going to do to the 'poor' dustmen

Three wheelies here, organic, plastic, paper.

But from the title I thought this was about Bin Laden
