Wheelie bins storage fees claim

Skippy2roo

Not sure where to place this thread.

As my local council ( Rochdale ) has now given me a grand total of 5 Wheelie bins and admit they are the legal owners i ask this

Can i ask for a reduction on my poll tax for the storage of 5 bins as i feel this amount of bins is ridiculous.

They won't take any back by the way so i am stuck with them.

Here's the story then but i now realise i have 6 bins and not 5.

Moved into the house in March 2004, previous occupiers never took the wheelie bin and i asked the council for one as the previous occupiers said they would come round and collect theirs later, but they never did.

Total number = 2

Then the bin men dropped off a smaller size one because there were 4 people living at the house, i never asked for this extra bin.

Total Number = 3

Next they decided to drop off a brown one for grass cuttings etc.

Total Number = 4

Finally the council drop off 2 brand new recycling ones of which 1 only gets emptied once every 2 weeks as i cannot fill the other, i don't create enough recycling refuse, so it currently stands with the others all lined up like soldiers.

Grand Total = 6 bins

I have requested they either reduce the amount i have or i want a reduction of some sorts on my poll tax as i have more bins than the council depot lol

Just use them like the rest of us do, think of the environment.

I have never heard of an occupant taking the wheely bin with them when they move? Is this a quaint custom?!! All I can say about the spare one is-bin it.

Sounds like you only have one more than you are entitled to, and you requested that one. Some areas do have more than others - there are only two people in my parents house and they have three plus a blue box!

Firstly, you don't pay poll tax. As a four person household you would know about it if you did!

Secondly, why should you get a reduction for the council doing their job properly? Most people would be posting this on the 5 Star Service Board!

Firstly...What do you mean i don't pay poll tax, don't talk utter rubbish ( no pun intended ) i pay £117.00 per month council tax, or am i imagining it ?

Secondly... I dont want 6 bins cluttering up my path, and don't get me going on council doing their job properly, waste of time Rochdale council, personally i would SACK the lot of them and get in a private contracor to do the lot, then these idle sods who go to work ( and i use the term Work loosley ) in their slippers would wake up and realise what the real world is like without the cushion of workingfor the council seems to bring.

Thirdly... I feel i SHOULD get a reduction as i pay for a wheelie bin cleaner chap to clean them out and they are not even mine, yet the council insists i must maintain them ?

noh

No you don't pay poll tax you pay council tax.
To see why we don't have a poll tax read this:-http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poll_tax_riots
Why do you pay someone to clean them?
Just leave the ones you don't require out on the street some one will soon have them away;)

Hy
I had thought of chopping them up and sending them away for recycling in the recycle bin. However i am off to the pub tonight so i will take one with me and leave it outside someone elses house, at least i will be one down.
Cheers
