Blooming Bin Men!!! Grrrr
35 Answers
Our collection day is Fridays(today) yet they repeatedly come and drag the big black bin out and empty it on a Thursday, before it's been filled properly. And today I still have to put out the blue recycling boxes and food waste bin . Yesterday morning I went out for 2 hours. Next to the black bin was a 5 litre tin of white paint, with only about an inch used, ready to go to the recycling depot up the road once I'd worked out what to put it in. I get bk 2 hours later and the bin men have yet again come up my drive to grab the black bin a day early,but they have also knocked over the tin of paint which has spilt everywhere - and just left it!! I rang the council who said they would send someone to clean it up - nobody bothered to turn up. I've just rang again and they say I didn't call yesterday!! God knows how I'm going to clean it up!

We don't have a front garden so just have normal bin bag collection along with recycling boxes.
What pees me off is our bin collection is Saturdays. They empty the glass collection into wheelie bins at about 8am and sometimes earlier. Not nice for people who hope to have a nice lie in after working all week.
They also do one side of the road at a time. So between all the pick ups 6 trucks go up and down the street for our street alone.

1ozzy they aren't meant to come and get it - it's just something they've started doing recently.i caught them doing it the other week and asked why they were here a day early and they just said they had some spare time! But the daft thing is that when they do this I still put in it what I haven't had a chance to and put it back ou again and they have to re empty it on the Friday - so silly!! I really don't know how to clear this paint up!
What sort of paint is it Smow?
eg: The paint tin should have clean up instructions on the side, Acrylic, Enamel, etc?
If it has spilt on a porous surface, concrete, pavers, stone,etc. then it maybe a tad difficult to remove.
Post any info you can find and I'll search for a way to clean.
Don't give up harassing your local council over this mess!!!

I've rang and complained again and said if they had left the bin and not come early then this would never have happened. They reckon they are passing it to relevant team but don't think they'll do a thing. I've taken a photo and will email it to them. So annoyed- they must have seen what they'd done.
