mrsw Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 I don't know if I'm being unreasonable but I'm getting really fed up with Southwark doing the bin collection on our road usually just before 7am on Saturdays. If it was a week day I'd be a little more sympathetic. If it was a private person making that much noise so early they'd probably give them an asbo.

cdonline Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 This is one of my pet hates and I sympathise.Why they can't collect during 9 to 5 on any day, thus avoiding waking up people at unreasonable hours as well clogging up the rush hours traffic.If services are contracted out, it should be written in as a clause.Just because the bin men want to finish early is a crap excuse.Saturday morning whinge over, but I will write to the Council about this, because it makes me seethe, well a little.

Asset Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 Yes, I'm sure if you write to them they'll reorganise their borough-wide schedule of collections for you.

Ladygooner Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 What Asset says - also I am sure the binmen will be grateful too not to have to get up so early for work on a saturday Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/3571-is-640am-too-early-for-saturday-bin-collection/#findComment-111811 Share on other sites More sharing options...

HonaloochieB Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 Of course it's not too early. Speaking as a road-sweeper/semi-binman in a former life (and no, not as a student) the concept of 'job and knock' ie you have a set round and then you finish made up for a poorly paid job. I think that's probably not the case since the services have been privatised but surely it's better to have the bin lorries on the street early rather than getting in the way of traffic when we want to be pottering about of a Saturday?
