Were anybody's black bins emptied today that were supposed to be?

[flas1986 10]

I arrived home late this evening and went to take the black bin back down the path to find that it had not been emptied this morning like it should have been. It's not just mine either. The whole street still has its bins out.

 

Anybody else had this problem?

Mine was in s12

Hmm I'm in S12 too. I'll give them a ring in the morning and find out what the crack is

The bin lorry probably broke down or something, it happens from time to time.

 

The usual advice is just to leave them out and they'll try again tomorrow.

Seems to happen quite a bit for us!

perhaps your bins were emptied but people with a surplus of rubbish came along and refilled them for you...

 

I would check whether or not the rubbish in your bin is yours or not!

We left ours out, last Thursday morning, to get home in the evening, to find it still full.

 

We left it out, and it was emptied on Friday. The binmen said they had a breakdown, and apologised.

I think the refuse collection service in Sheffield is generally very reliable- if they aren't able to collect your rubbish on the usual day for some reason they usually ensure it is collected the following day as a priority.https://www.sheffield.gov.uk/environment/waste/bincollections/binday.html

 

It is, however, rather disappointing that rubbish is being tipped in Graves Park by SCC - very disappointing indeed.

The fact that you have had the time to count the words speaks volumes tbh:)
