FOLLOWING our post that bin collection days were to remain the same over the new year period we had a number of people responding.

Fiona Vick said: ‘Remain the same? They haven’t even emptied our green bins since Tuesday 27th (when scheduled ) been out on the road since Monday night ! Reported twice and all I got was leave the bins out !

‘ This is not the bin men’s fault ! It’s the councils fault. Soroba is going back to weekly collection­s too, so why is everyone not going back to the same!

‘Can’t treat some people differentl­y than others , we all pay council tax we all should have an equal service.’

Donna M Macaulay sent her a

reply, saying: ‘ That’s wild eh! Should put everyone back to fortnightl­y collection­s, having weekly for some & wt we’ve been getting is outrageous! I’m having to take stuff up to the dump myself all the bloody time!’ Rebecca Cressey commented: ‘Not collected! Have not remained the same, have been tightening their belts to the detriment of the collection­s, too tight to pay for bin men during holiday times, always fobbed off with lorry breakdown, shambles!’ Suzy Anderson said: ‘Pointless having a calendar when they don’t stick to it, bins are overflowin­g.’

Peter Taylor added: ‘Remain the same? What, like “One day, Someday, Sometime, Never”?’ While Millie Beuschier complained: ‘we have 3 bins full and rubbish at our door step!!

Ashley Mckerron said: ‘still waiting on my green bin getting collected’

Mutt Nut: ‘So our recycling bin was due to be collected on Dec. 29th. Still waiting. Tomorrow our household waste bin due to be collected, so we will all have both bins out tomorrow. Perhaps we should all find out how much we pay per collection and then ask for a refund of our Council Tax for each failed pick up?’
