On the weekend before Christmas the Council fly tips recyclable rubbish leaving debris on ground, on top and behind the recycle Blue Bins on Sat, 22.12.2007 at 1205.
Two of these recycle Blue Bins were not used. The one furtherest to the left had leaves in it still I believe which I had noted on Wed, 19.12.2007, when I went out to put my recyclables into a Blue Bin. See the end of this video clip.
[NB the recycle Blue Bin nearest the left side was actually emptied the following day indicating that its contents were suitable for recycling.]
The one I used (4th from nearest end) was not used either. I wonder why? This had a lock on it. The other did not. It was empty when I used it, and I had to put my recyclables in through the narrow door. What happened in the three days between Wed morning and Sat morning which caused this recyclable Blue Bin to be rendered unusable?
As can be seen, this week they used the hydraulic lift on the motorised wagon to dump the wagon load of Orange Bags onto the ground. Some more debris breaks loose and rolls out onto the ground in front.
One of those filling the recycle Blue Bins came around to make the stack of Orange Bags neat but ignores the debris which has spilled out onto the ground from dumping the wagon load of Orange Bags from above.
During the process of filling these recycle Blue Bins, cardboard is placed on top, an Orange Bag falls behind and some debris falls out onto the ground which is not picked up.
At the end of this clip there are short clips of the plumbing debris fly tipped at the end by the kerb and the leaves in the recycle Blue Bin at the opposite end.
There was someone out checking the plumbing debris Wednesday morning when I was out there depositing my recyclable rubbish. Perhaps he was trying to identify its source. It was apparently removed later that day but had remained here for at least five full days.
I do not know why anyone would put leaves in one of these recycle Blue Bins except to avoid proper disposal expense. It creates a problem by taking this recycle Blue Bin out of service and causes much work all around.
Again, those doing this work are generally quite conscientious taking extra effort to close and lock the recycle Blue Bins. But, a bag does fall behind, and loose debris is left on what was a clear area at the start as noted at the beginning of this video clip.
The Council still needs to either increase the number of recycle Blue Bins or set up an extra pick up during the week for half the Orange Bags. Thus, half the people would put them out on say Wednesday for the Thursday pick up and the other half on Saturday for the Sunday pick up.
This latter change would allow for the successful increase in recycling which is occurring to be properly handled by those who are doing this excellent job so that fly tipping does not occur.
And, it would help to put a lock on the one of the seven recycle Blue Bins that does not have a lock. This might prevent putting such unsuitable rubbish in them such as the leaves as occurred here.
Rubbish of any kind should not be fly tipped on the ground like this overnight. The Council has a duty of care which is not being observed. For why this is important as always please see:

Council Fly Tips Rubbish Overnight Sat 29.12.07 at 1121/1202by garydchance949 views
Funny how you dont show the actual collection of these bins, which proably happend jsut after you stopped filming. As for the contaminated bins with leaves, it was probably one of your dumba*s friends or family who throught leaves can be recycled with dry recyclables. Looks to me like the Council workers were recycling about 6 bins worth of recyclables, well done to them. Im sure they could have dumped them as general rubbish. On a good point though, you could get a job in film editing....
