Ours and nearby streets have just got a letter from our council about leaving bins out with rubbish in them .This is as a result of the bins not getting emptied when we had all the snow on the ground ,the drivers where all on gritter duty so couldn't drive the bin wagons because of driver hours .Anyway the bins where left out on the usual day (last thursday) but the bin men did not turn up for the aforementioned reason ,we weren't told they weren't coming and had no idea when they would come so we left them out ,on the wednesday and thursday the following week we had really strong winds which inevitably resulted in the bins being blown all over the place .The bins eventually got emptied a week late ,had we been notified of this when inquiries where made with Envirocall we could have bought the bins back in
