In general I have found the teams that service my bit of SE22 to be very effective - but they work by one team member going on ahead and pulling out bins into the roads, sometimes 'pooling bins' so that bins to be emptied are as full as possible - it may be that some bins actually with rubbish still in them are missed by the workers travelling with the lorry, who assume that they have already been emptied into other bins - probably based on their relative position in the road/ on the pavement.

This practice is generally very efficient, maximising throughput (and actually reducing the time the lorry is blocking any particular road) but it may lead, as I have said, to bins being missed because the follow-up team are making assumptions about the bins' positions to determine whether they need to be emptied (some already being emptied into other bins by the operative going ahead).

This has happened (once) to me - my bin was cleared within 48 hours, but that was before the computer based backlog came about.

  Sadly we need young people from developing countries with higher birth rates to do the work that Brits wont do, including many jobs in health and social care. How you square this with minimum wages to get work visas I don't know. A different subject for another thread. Shortage of skilled workers is another topic. We could return to the fact that young people from Europe no longer come to the UK for a limited time, to do both skilled and unskilled jobs, but that would bring us back to Brexit and the crazy decision we made as a nation. Some nice analysis by Sky News, tend not to use them as a rule but was surprised by the quality of this piece: https://news.sky.com/story/how-many-illegal-migrants-are-in-britain-the-key-numbers-driving-the-immigration-debate-13428405

  Would be good if they turned it into something that is social/community driven for housing - old and young mix together. Let’s face it, dearth of social anything relating to housing… if that.could be combined with say, work area and gardening and cafe for all, everyone wins.. Dream on.. yea… certainly don’t need more large supermarkets, kitchen stores, Argos etc… Haven’t had time to look at plans…
