Lazy dustman

Point 1, I have recently seen large blocks of polystyrene just left outside to be blown all over the place and old cd racks just left on the road side for the dustman to pick up but they dont pick them up. If the council wants to be the best in the country at recycling, why is it necessary to put these items in a plastic bag, its pointless, all it does is waste more plastic plus more carbon emissions from the owners cars to drive to the dump and put them there. Can the dustman please take items such as these away with them.

Point 2, The dustman are very lazy, recently I found a metal tray for a spare car wheel laying in the middle of the road, so I put it in a green box for recycling. Did they take it, no, it was left in the box, why should I have to take it to the dump?Its not mine and I was just keeping the road clear.

Offensive? Unsuitable? Tell us

They have gone but I think it was the locals that took them to the dump and not the dustman.
