I understand that everywhere in the country,bin lids need to be flat, which I can understand as they only have enough room in their trucks for 1 bin full from each house. However,I live in Warrington,home of Warrington Rugby Team, and our Council are actually proposing that in Warrington,our bins should be collected every 2 WEEKS with the bin lid still down.Now I can't even think of a way that is beneficial except for the bin people and the Council.
I feel sorry for Mr.Jones next door,he's 83 and has very bad arthritis. His family don't live near here,so if he fills his bin up in 2 weeks and the bin lid is up,then Mr.Jones has to carry his heavy rubbish to a bus to the skip 3 miles away and then get a bus back. Not only does Mr.Jones get a disgraceful pension and must pay for these trips,he would be putting himself in danger and risking his health because of the local Council not wanting to pay the bin people's wages!
My question is can you think of why the Council would do this?
