I got on the blower to the complaints section first thing this morning. The lady said she would send message to the relevant department. Less than 2 hours later my bin was collected. Either my phone call produced results or it was just coincidence. Either way I'm happy to see the bin empty. Now back to the garden to fill it again. Those bushes won't prune themselves!

I've only just seen this thread but have experienced similar problems. My brown bin wasn't collected for 3 weeks (Bellenden Road). Every time I logged a missed bin collection it was marked as complete while the bin wasn't collected. I emailed the waste team on multiple occasions. I received two responses, one saying that i hadn't paid my subscription (so I replied with my receipt) and one suggesting that my bin may have been contaminated with non-garden waste. I replied to both of these and didn't receive a reply, in addition to other emails I sent. I finally emailed [email protected] and the next morning someone was out taking photos of my bin (i.e. inside the top showing that it was purely garden cuttings and another of the sticker on the outside). The bin was collected shortly after. Still no response to the complaint email. 

Garden and food waste used to be collected together but I think they are separate now. They empty the food waste into red wheelie bins and then put them into a small lorry that doesn't look like a typical bin lorry.

    • Be thankful for the NHS. This is the price to treat a dog or cat. Imagine what it might be to treat a human being with cancer
    • Someone had a worse day than you. Be grateful not to be involved.
    • I don't know how it works now but my late parents had little money when they were retired (just state pension and they rented their flat) and they used to take their cat to the Blue Cross (In Victoria if I remember correctly) where treatment was free for those who could'nt afford a private vet. I sincerely hope similar is available still because for many elderly their pet is their main source of comfort and company.  
    • In a couple of places locally, I have come across this. I am fairly sure that they attempt to do the bill in their head. If you just say , “no, I think it’s x” they start again and get to an agreeable number, or find a calculator. I don’t think it’s a malicious attempt to swindle people. Just not great arithmetic.
