    Ours are great, every week and just a day late this week. North Lincolnshire must be doing something right.

    I think there is a strong correlation between the councils that outsourced the work and those that have poor service. Ours used to collect weekly over christmas, since outsourcing they dont do it so much.
  • Any excess waste of mine is put in the public bins on the street.

    Our usual collection day is Wednesday and I was pleasantly surprised to see the dustcart doing it's rounds early this morning. I don't often find reasons to praise my local council, but this time praise is well deserved.
    The bigger the bargain, the better I feel.

    I should mention that there's only one of me, don't confuse me with others of the same name.

    Mine is Wednesday too and this morning - exactly as published on the Xmas leaflet - the lorry came down the street. 7.30 am, about an hour earlier than usual.

    Unfortunately only 3 lots of rubbish were out as well as mine.
    I can cook and sew, make flowers grow.
