SCC - Veolia photo-ing

Recommended Posts

They went up and down my street yesterday, think it was green bin collection day.

AFAIK the only Bank Holiday they miss is Christmas Day.

 

That's good service then, our bin men don't collect on Bank Holidays.

A Veolia rubbish lorry was around Gleadless & Manor Top taking photos of some properties.

 

Does anyone know what they were up to?

 

Not collecting any bins.

Don't think they ever collect on bank holidays.

 

Just took photos of 2 houses next door and then moved on.

 

If they weren't collecting any rubbish, why would they take a bin lorry (and crew, presumably) just to take photos, when one person with a smartphone and on an Ofo bike would suffice?

Ours were due yesterday at Crookes and collected today - post snow. However a few weeks ago when there was snow a bin lorry went up my road without stopping. I assumed it was doing a test run to judge the state of the road prior to a proper collection.

What they were doing has nothing to do with rubbish collection as they do not do collections on bank holidays!

They do collect on Bank holidays.

Well do Veolia collect on Bank Holidays or not?

 

Let’s ask them, shall we:

 

Does the black bin service operate on Bank Holidays?

Yes, we work on all bank holidays apart from Christmas Day and New Year's Day. If your collection is affected at Christmas/New Year, a tag will be hung on your black bin showing collection details over the holiday period.

Mine is always emptied on Good Friday, Gleadly seems to have been very misinformed.

Except they do. Our bin day is a Monday, and it's always collected.

It was green bin collection day on bank holiday Monday in that area and they collected despite the weather. Maybe as it's a paid service could they have been taking pics of people's bins that hadn't been put out in case they complain about a missed collection. Or something.
