I’m Sooooooooo excited!

it's a sign that things are slowly getting more back to normal. We were excited too. Put the bin out but no-one came. We paid in advance so will have to email them. no good trying to ring.

I'm the same it was the highlight of the day when the council came to empty our garden bin after six weeks. There was a fb page for people to track the bin lorry. That's lockdown making us all look forward to things we took for granted before.

Thankfully our council never stopped collecting garden waste. Little things eh? ?

Our bin men haven't stopped either

Good news for Esspee!

You truly don’t appreciate things until you have to do without!

I was gobsmacked to hear about the number of councils who had cut back on waste collection, not just garden rubbish but the recycling as well. Everything has stayed as normal here. Our binmen do a cracking job and are always cheery. We should appreciate them like the postie, the delivery men and the shop workers.

Our council are very quick off the mark. First in the area to suspend all collections except black bags every other week. Probably will be the last to reinstate too. Then they are surprised that fly tipping has increased!

Our bins have been emptied every week without fail during lockdown. Another group of people to be grateful for. There are so many now making the lives of those who can't get out easier.

The council didn’t have the public areas mown until two days ago. The cut gave me so much pleasure. It looks tidy and loved now along the quay and the river. So much nicer than the mess.

I'm amazed that some councils have cut back on waste collection. Ours have collected as normal and we don't pay extra to have garden waste taken. Our garden waste goes into the brown bin along with food waste which we collect in small containers in the kitchen lined with biodegradable bags. The small containers and bags are also provided by the council free of charge.

We don’t have a garden waste collection here but other bin collections have continued as normal.

I’m very pleased today with the pizza and brownie meal that’s been delivered this afternoon! Roll on dinner time.

Our council never stopped. March to November without fail. And very pleasant chaps too.

Oh my goodness! I thought I was the only one! I actually watched the dustmen empty my green bin and I was actually excited!

My dh is fixated on bin uplift days I’ll get a running commentary from him about which bin is for what. He used to put the bins out for our neighbours good man now the youngest neighbour put the bins out and not before time I’m just so pleased each bin has a photo on it telling me what goes where. Good guidance.
