My food bin was not emptied for two weeks, put in a form week one… nothing happened, tried to put in a form week 2, but was told on the phone I had to wait until after 4pm. Put in a form after 4pm , nothing happened so put in an official complaint on the phone and finally two weeks worth of smelly stuff collected. 
I hadn’t noticed week 1 that it had not been collected, only knew as the local foxes worked out how to open the brown food caddy…spreading uncollected waste all over my front yard…so I was annoyed on several levels.
My other bins are casually thrown halfway across the street every collection day, despite me putting them out where it is convenient for the crew and making sure they do not have to move the other colour bin to get to the green or blue bin. They also throw other peoples bins into my front yard.

I would appreciate my food bin to be emptied and some care taken when replacing bins. 

Bin collection line 020725 2000 worth trying, however I found them dismissive and my issue was not resolved. 

Complaints 0207525 0042 …. Actually spoke to a really excellent customer service advisor, I think only accessible on week days -office hours. She was very helpful and resolved my uncollected bin issue

I'm sure it's me having computer brain fog, but I noticed other posters had replies to their missed bin reports but I've never had an answer even though I've reported many times. I know it says they get back to you but where and how?

I'm hoping last week's garden waste will finally get emptied tomorrow, but I'm now thinking even if they do come, will they ignore it , as still haven't received my sticker for this year? We'll see.

I just spoke to the bin man who was taking the food waste bin and he said he doesn't take the brown garden waste bin! He said that was another round. Strange as theyre always taken together. He said to ring them and complain.

I think that as a group we should escalate this further if they're not emptied today.

Mine was cleared as usual in Underhill. Were other bins cleared in your road or were they all missed? Is the problem to do with the route as a whole, or your bin being missed out on its own? Does it have the right stickers on it? If it is just your bin could you work from home next Tuesday or get someone to monitor why it's being missed if other bins on the route are being collected. The guys on my route seem pretty straight and generally helpful.

      Should facial recognition be mandatory for retail outlets?

      By beansprout · Posted

      Most of the groceries shops in Lordship Lane have a security presence…curious thing is I and another woman recently saw a shop lifter lift and not pay for a couple of packet of steaks, veg and bottle of wine..  Literally walked Pat the tills, one member of staff and security guard despite someone else going in front by a few people and mentioning person in question! I have to say, speechless and admired their bravado - I would not have the guts and knowing my luck, if I accidentally didn’t put something tru the till despite receipt would prob get stopped! Yes, worked with families, homeless and other people who were struggling for food so I do understand why they do it.. sad when you think about it, that in this day and age, all sorts of c people need assistance and help from community in general, food banks, olio etc….

      Major Incident?

      And another one, number 6, has just gone passed as well!  I presume that the LTNs are blocking them from a more useful route. Or the surrounding road works.
