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 ?

Thanks noh, glad to see someone understands the difference between poll tax and council tax (maybe they have just slept through the past decade, hence why they don't need a bin?!).

So get rid of the bins if you don't want them! Leave them somewhere, give them to friends who need them. Hardly brain surgery.

You pay someone to clean all six bins?! :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

You enjoy your night at the pub discussing how they should abolish poll tax ...

dmg24 Your comments are hardly condusive to my question, so why the abuse ? but then with the amount of posts to your name you obviously must be an oracle, so i bow to thee oh Great one..............

No abuse, you just don't like it when people tell you that you are wrong! Have you read up on poll tax yet?!

I have never heard of an occupant taking the wheely bin with them when they move? Is this a quaint custom?!!

I've never heard of this either! In fact I would have thought it would be theft, especially if they moved out of the councils area! My neighbour stole one of hers from Southampton (I know that because it says Southampton on the front!) which she uses to keep her guinea pig feed!

As for paying someone to clean them.... hmmm, well I wouldn't spend my money on that personally! Anyway, our rubbish is never that dirty or smelly, especially since we rinse recycling out in the end of the washing water, have stopped wasting food, and recycle everything we can.

I'm surprised you can't get them to pick up the extra non-recycling small ones since they're so keen to make everyone recycle!

Rochdale council now operate a twice weekly collection, ie one week the normal rubbish is taken then the week after the recycle one is taken. It has been a disaster from day one, this is how stupid Rochdale council are.

• Double bag everything they say to avoid smells and the possibility of flies laying eggs on waste food. Double bag !!!!!! it takes a plastic bag 500 years to decompose apparently so 1000 years for starters there, wheres the sense in that, not very Green is it.
• I cannot fit a wheelie bin in my dishwasher lol......... i know it's not environmentally friendly to use a dishwasher but personally if by me using this one piece of indulgance increases the UK's temperature slightly then i can live with that as it's done nothing but rain. Anyway i don't remember hearing any Eskimo's complaining, do you ?

Post them back to the council with no stamp on.

But seriously, ask them to collect them and give them a time limit and if that fails find a new owner or make a wormary or just plain burn them.

Periodically, I tip a splash bleach and a bucket of water in my empty wheelie bin. Then I dip my mop in to wash the insides, and tip the water out.

Only takes a few mins, and it's cheaper than paying for the washing service (costs £1.50 a week per bin here!)

There are often people on freecycle who are asking for bins (presumably because councils usually charge for extras).
