Insignificant/ Significant things that BYP or just wind you up a little
Re: Insignificant/ Significant things that BYP or just wind you up a little
I'm not sure if this should be here or in the stupid work sayings thread.
I was having software problems today so had to get on to IT.
I was told there was a global outage but when I said "Oh, so other people are having problems?" I got the reply "No, just you."
So, a global outage only affecting me

We're all work shy losers, who seek validation on the internets that we can't achieve in real life, or something.

Re: Insignificant/ Significant things that BYP or just wind you up a little
Our Council has changed our recycling scheme. We now have a black bin for general waste which has moved to fortnightly collection. We've had some self-assembly furniture delivered and the i bagged up the unrecyclable polystyrene in 3 bags and put it next to the already full black bin. The bin men left it, but not before putting this sticker on it, which incidentally, the bin men threw the sticker backing on my lawn. So we are capped at oen bin full. Fuck knows what the streets will look like after Xmas!

We are allowed 4 black bags every 2 week's for general rubbish, a glass bin and tins bin every 2 week's and 4 smallish garden waste bags every 2 weeks - no thought to how big house and garden is, number of occupants etc. Anything over your allowance, they just leave and they come this time of year they wonder why they don't get a Christmas drink? Nobs....
Garden waste just moving over to wheelie bins so I've subscribed to 2 of the biggest bins they do, so will load them to the top with as much garden waste as I can - I'll get my money out of them!

Re: Insignificant/ Significant things that BYP or just wind you up a little
And have you all seen the state of most council's finances?
I always expect that if I have "alot" of rubbish I have to take it to the tip. I suspect it's mostly because "bin limits" have always been a thing in the time i've been a grown up with my own house etc.

Re: Insignificant/ Significant things that BYP or just wind you up a little
Yeah I get that but who's to know if they throw 4 or 5 black bags in the truck or empty an additional garden waste bag full of grass clippings?

Re: Insignificant/ Significant things that BYP or just wind you up a little
Thing is, if they do it for one person, they then have to do it for all...and everyone takes the piss. Give people an inch and all that.

BTW: MK council have actually been a bit sensible for Christmas! They've said they won't collect garden bins at XMAS 9who's doing gardening after all?) and instead will collect the recycling more until Jan.

And that's the answer.
Our local one accepts all sorts of stuff.

Yeah that's why now on top of our band G council tax that I now also pay extra for 2 garden waste wheelies and an additional fee to empty them.Mr. Dazzle wrote: ↑Fri Dec 08, 2023 11:34 am And have you all seen the state of most council's finances?

Local council tips have now adopted the scheme where you have to pre-book a 10min slot to take your other rubbish and not surprisingly weekends are booked weeks in advance. No wonder we are seeing piles of shit dumped in farm gateways etc.

I bloody love the pre-book system Prior to it there was always a massive queue at the tip, now I just drive straight in. It takes 30s to book online, excellent system IMO.v8-powered wrote: ↑Fri Dec 08, 2023 11:40 am Local council tips have now adopted the scheme where you have to pre-book a 10min slot to take your other rubbish and not surprisingly weekends are booked weeks in advance.

We have this lot. Green garden recycling is £25 a year. Orange box is for glass and is fortnightly. Small green caddy is waste food and weekly. The new blue and white bags is for recycling, the white is for clean (you're supposed to rinse out cans etc) plastics and cans and the other blue for clean (no pizza boxes etc) paper and cardboard. Once emptied they blow away if its windy! The council have failed to deliver the new bins to all addresses but the bin men aren't allowed to take away the old ones that people are still using and the get left there. The place is a bigger tip than normal and i really dread to think what it'll look like after xmas!

Re: Insignificant/ Significant things that BYP or just wind you up a little
It's good for those who have time during the week to do a tip run but never good for those that can only go of a weekend. Colchester only has the one centre and it's a pretty big city covering a lot of people.....Mr. Dazzle wrote: ↑Fri Dec 08, 2023 11:41 am I bloody love the pre-book system Prior to it there was always a massive queue at the tip, now I just drive straight in.

I'm very pro recycling etc. but make it easier for us, not harder....
