Have they been to yours?

Last week they never came cos the snow was quite bad, but again they've not been today and our bins are heeving
The ice is quite bad round here now but the roads are clear, I just don't get it
Our road is on a slight gradient but its still ok for cars and lorries to go up and down.

I honestly can't leave it another week

Phone your council hun! We had to when we first moved in they didn't collect ours for 3 weeks was rank

They've been to us, its just very icy here now. check your council website for info x

ours is terrible i phoned them and they've suspended all recycling, they're going to collect this week but only if you put everything into black bin bags at the top of the street.

Ours only come once a fortnight but they have been coming as normal. Our street is quite bad too so I'm suprised but they are dedicated . OH has to go to the tip once a week anyway to get rid of a couple of bags because we have one of those little dinky 'single person' wheelie bins which is supposed to last 4 of us 2 weeks it's a joke. I recycle as much as I can too and I have a composter for food waste but it's just not enough.

Thanks ladies.
I haven't actually seen them about tbh, I can't even put things into bags as we have looooads of feral cats around here

As-if Debs I've seen them teeny bins, thats ridiculous. Have you requested a bigger one?

Jesus debs we struggle with a standard size bin lasting a fortnight, plus we only have one pooping LO! You should def be entitled to a bigger bin!

I've just checked the website that says
Bin Collections - Update 07.12.2010 15.50 hours Temperatures today have not gone much above freezing, however all rounds are currently out. Tonight's forecast is of more sub zero temperatures isn’t good news, but Wednesday's work will be carried out where safe to do so. Then, as before, other Areas will be prioritised based on access timescale since serviced last etc.

Yeah we asked but they basically said it's that size or nothing . We only got wheelie bins in October - before that we used to have to put bags out but they would collect EVERY week and we could put out as mant bags as we needed. We have 4 wheelie bins, 3 recycling and one household. The recycling ones are proper sized bins and the household is teeny I wouldn't mind so much but they are extremely fussy about what you put in the recycling ones and they go round doing checks and if they see something in there that isn't 'on the list' they wont empty it. If the lid doesn't close properly (even a few mm) they refuse to empty too! Argh! Bin nazis!!!

Yeah ours have been thankfully x

Our area (West Oxfordshire) have just started the same scheme as what Debs has.....we have a single size wheelie bin, recycling boxes for plastics, cardboard etc and then a food composter.

They have also just started Garden Waste collections too.....who has Garden Waste at this time of year?? xx

ours have been - god bless them they have had to pull wheelie bins up and down loads of icy/snow covered stairs, i dont know how they have managed at all its awful out there!

Im not sure as last week we didnt put the bin out as it was cardboard bin week and Dan has already taken it to the skips

I hope it comes this Friday though cos the bin is full!

our bin guys came last week...we saw them out on the main road...but they didn't collect any from the smaller roads
