Ulverscroft Rd- Did they clear food bins today?

[shazza76]

Just asking as it’s mine hasn’t been emptied for a couple of weeks now even though I put it by the gate. 
 

thanks ☺️

I'd just empty it into the green bin at this point.

Mine was emptied (unless I had forgotten to put anything in it!)

However my old food bin, which I had to replace because the bin men flung it over my wall and broke off the lid, which then blew away somewhere in the wind, is also  still there.

Every time I try to get rid of it by putting it in the green bin, it is never emptied from the green bin.

I'm not sure if this is because it gets stuck (it only just fits in the green bin) but short of taking it to the tip myself I can't see how else to dispose of it.

Btw there is an Ulverscroft Road WhatsApp group where you might get more response than on here re whether other people's food bins were emptied.

If you aren't already on it, message me and I can add you.

Thanks for the replies.  
I did think just about tipping it all in the large green bin but it’s putting me off 🤢

Next week I’ll just put outside on pavement, surely it can’t be missed then. 
 

@Suethanks I am aware of the Ulverscroft Rd WhatsApp group, I’m not on it, but I think I just prefer chatting to neighbours/friends whilst out and about.  But thank you for the offer! 😊

I just thought that as your query was specific to the road, more people who live in the road might see it on a group specific to the road than on here, as the road group  has over a hundred members, but no problem!

Better that it goes into  a brown bin where it will be processed into compost.
