What do I have to do to get bins emptied?

-

I write regarding the waste collection by Serco, or rather the lack of it. Since April 13 I have made several phone calls to Serco (costing me about £10) complainin­g that my garden waste bin has not been emptied for many, many weeks. On three occasions I was told I am a priority case and collection was booked for the next or following day. Needless to say nothing has happened. At present the contents of the bin are rotting and putrid and I have a further three bags of waste awaiting collection. I am over 90 years of age and have assisted collection as I am also disabled and because of this I only have a large bin and garden waste bin. The large bin is emptied regularly every two weeks, so what is the problem?

Incidental­ly, as my back gate has been unlocked for many weeks awaiting collection, someone entered my garden the other night and stole a very large copper vessel which was holding plants, which they dumped nearby.

At my age I can do without all this hassle, but what do I have to do to get my bin emptied? Enid Lazell Pine Tree Avenue, Canterbury
