Westminster Council Refuse Collection

[andyb1969]

I work for my local council doing lots of different refuse and recycling jobs, i am apalled at these guys "dont care attitude" Compared to this my guys are total angels! There are refuse workers out there that do care and do clear up a lot of the publics mess and extra rubbish. I may film some of the areas we go in to and post it up for you. Have you sent the footage in to westminster council?

well I think throwing the bins by the doorstep it's something they should not do...but mate you complain too much...don't you have something better to do that look at other people job....if you really wanna complain call the company responsible for the collection and let them deal with the worker. mind your business and think about your job! have you ever done something you shouldn't? well you know the answer!!!!....

come to Hull our council give extra bins to people who dont want to recycle,there wont use blue bins for paper,wont use black boxes,and wont use compost bins that why we,v got one of the lowest recyling rates in the uk.from one pissed off binman.

Councils now reduce the size of bins and tell residents to take the rubbish to tips themselves - so not an enviromental policy, just collect the money and reduce the service!

As always - money!

15% of your council tax bill goes toward refuse and recycling. The only borough in the country to collect your excessive rubbish and wastetwice a week. I think that is pretty good value!

Secondly, how about you reduce your rubbish and recycle more, then you wouldnt need to see these half-arsed people as often :)

valid point... i do recyle and yes we are lucky to have a pick up every week day. But when the council threaten residents with £2000fines when it is there fault is not good and because of this footage the problem was resolved..Thanks for your comment

You are right - Westminster is one of the best boroughs for rubbish collection in the country (if not "the best") - at least in central parts of Westminster where tourists /Parliament are. But they took one of the multi-item recycling bins out of a street in W1 close to Manchester St. Why? Having argued there was no space for it (there was and is) they then decided it was "too successful". Which meant the service provider wouldn't contract to collect it. Can't win!

HEHE!!! Caught on film, eh?!!! LOL!!! THANX for the post!! Could you get some more footage of your council's trucks in action?

[copperbottom88]

i will do....i like your profile page...you are some refuse expert!

[MitchellM15]

THANKS!! Look forward to them! Could youm let me know when you do? I'm not as much of an expert as some guys! HAHA! I'm pretty good when it comes to Aussie trucks, but outside Australia, still a lot of learning to do!
