beddoe79 Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 still not had our leaflet in Wincobank, S5. Good job we don't need to put our bin out tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest makapaka Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Think its great this, for smaller households anyway, 6+ I can understand being hard work. People will be more careful about what they waste,recycle etc. Few months time and everyone will have forgot and there'll be less waste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrsb73 Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 We got a leaflet this morning- in Jenkin road of s9 area our collection day was Monday but from now on will be Friday hopefully will manage. Incidentally applications for larger bins are handled by waste management at carbrook not veolia. I think they'll do various checks inc council tax and electoral roll and home visits to check up on applications. You can get an extra blue box tho by asking veolia if you think you might need one.

Olive Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Thing that gets me is that someone will have been paid to produce and deliver the leaflet that told us about the extra blue bin collection yesterday in our area (S6). But what's the point in delivering a leaflet in the late afternoon that tells you to put your bin out by 7am that morning? What a waste. Oh the irony!

I'm in S6 and ours didn't even though we had the leaflet in advance. My street is a sea of blue bins and boxes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffrey Shaw Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Why not? If you've got leaflet today you're obviously in so you can put bin out tonight or in the morning, what is the problem? Obviously: people who are away for weekend won't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffrey Shaw Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 What do you mean ,how long does it take you to put out your bin,takes me about 3 minutes. True; but it's of no help to someone who doesn't know in time. Better: leaflet houses on day of previous bin-collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Light sonic Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Few months time and everyone will have forgot and there'll be less waste. In other words less consumerism, and you may find yourself out of a job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffrey Shaw Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 That doesn't follow. Anyway, SCC is ahead of most other local authorities by: a. landfilling much less; and b. obtaining much more energy for Council premises, deriving it from the heat generated at Bernard Road incinerator.

Olive Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 And did yours get collected? I'm in S6 and ours didn't even though we had the leaflet in advance. My street is a sea of blue bins and boxes. I haven't a clue - no one had put their bins out. I didn't see a lorry go past, but we got up quite late and weren't in all day. Perhaps they did visit but were able to whizz straight past as there were no bins out to empty! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
