Weekly bin collection
Reported in the Rubbish (refuse and recycling) category by James Phinn at 09:51, Thu 30 December 2010

We have had no proper blue or green bin collection service for approximately one month now, and excess refuse bags are building up and presenting a risk to public health, as well as looking extremely unsightly.
This needs urgently rectifying please, with both bins emptying (and all excess bags) as soon as possible.
No doubt the snow caused problems initially, but the time taken to restore service is unacceptable, particularly as the scheduled fortnightly collections are already barely sufficient for our family of 5.
Thank you.

Thank you for rectifying this problem. The bins were emptied in accordance with a revised schedule adopted by the Council for our village.
It would be appreciated if the schedule for collecting refuse could be more adaptable in future if for some reason (due to adverse weather or otherwise)the scheduled collection day is missed. For example, the bins could be emptied on the next working day, rather than waiting another fortnight for the allocated day to come around again.
Fortnightly bin collections are barely adequate as it is for large families, and any disruption causes immediate problems.
