I live in an end terrace, the end next to the road where everyone brings their bins out for the dustmen.
The people leave their bins all over the pavement, and when the dustmen do their job, they leave the bins in a worse state than the people did who put them there.
It takes everyone all week to end up collecting their 3 dustbins.
So I am the one who puts them all neatly during the week as people gather their bins... it keeps our end looking nice, and means there is actual pavement to use. (a postie got knocked over, and through a fence here recent).
ANYWAY, this I don't really mind too much.... what I do mind is the people who put rubbish down there NOT in bins.
THE DUSTMEN WILL NOT TAKE ANYTHING THAT IS NOT IN A BIN YOU IDIOTS!
So again, it is me who picks this rubbish up, puts it in a relevant bin (usually mine so not to fill someone elses bin)
OR it will be something stupid, like a matteress or some such ****. Something I will have to sort out - again.
If I don't do this (and I have tried seeing what happens) over the weeks there is a slow, steady build up of stuff that gathers outside of the bins that the bin men will not take.... weeks turn into months and eventually it will be sorted by the council... all while my end looks terrible...and obviously many think it might be ME because I'm next to it all...and all this time, the bins are just all over the place all week.
lol.
