Jeffrey Shaw   90 #601 Posted August 16, 2012 Perhaps they haven't received the leaflet either. They did; but they binned it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Rob_1 Â Â 10 #603 Posted August 16, 2012 Not all car owners, those in band A pay no "road tax". Â Where did I say all car owners? Â It's still a tax that car owners have to pay Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Jeffrey Shaw   90 #604 Posted August 16, 2012 Anyway, it's not like Council Tax Band A; merely cars that emit < 100 somethings per something else. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
ormester101 Â Â 10 #605 Posted August 16, 2012 well they came yesterday the bins are full and noticing rubbish gathering around already the problem is closing the tips for so many days is having a major knock on effect . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Light sonic   10 #606 Posted August 16, 2012 Stop throwing so much stuff away and you'll be fine.  Another way to look at that is dont buy so much stuff, that leads to stuff being thrown away, such as packaging etc.  When demand for "stuff" goes down you could be out of a job.

poppy44 Â Â 10 #607 Posted August 16, 2012 I've just read on the Sheffield Star's website that the introduction of fortnightly bin collections will start next month. I can't remember that being on the agenda when Labour asked me to vote for them at the last local election. Kept that one up their sleeve didn't they. What a little miracle worker Jack Scott is. First the dump-it sites and now the bins. How are we going to accommodate all the fly tippers? Perhaps if Jack Scott is reading any of this he'd like to leave his address so that we can re-direct them to his street. Â i think that people will start to dump rubbish, like the late 70's Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

espadrille   10 #609 Posted August 17, 2012 Walking around Nether Edge yesterday it seems that the Council have stopped emptying street bins as I went passed 2 of them and both were overflowing. Whats going on? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Zarniwoop   10 #610 Posted August 17, 2012 Street bins are emptied by Streetforce. from Monday this part of the council will be outsourced to AMEY as part of the highways PFI contract. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Funky_Gibbon   42 #611 Posted August 17, 2012 Well it appears that I've missed my bin collection due to forgetting that they'd switched it to a completely different day for no apparent reason. I rushed out hoping that they hadn't come yet (as they used to come around about 8am) but every bin is empty already.  Not a good start to the new scheme...

Funky_Gibbon   42 #612 Posted August 17, 2012 Didn't you get an extra leaflet along with the 6 page guide to the new recycling services because I did? On this extra leaflet it stated that for this week only there would be an additional black bin collection on your usual day of the week and then collections would continue as per the calendar on the back page of the guide.  If there was then they never turned up where I live.
