Our bins can be emptied any time between 7-30am and mid-day depending on which route the crews decide to take. We all put our bins the end of our drives but the bin men just leave the bins from several houses in a jumble scattered across the pavement nearest to where they decide to halt the lorry. Most of my neighbours work and my husband and I try to return the bins to the right homes so that the pavements are unobstructed but playing hunt the bin every week is a pain.
The pavements on our road are 7/8 foot wide but bin men don't even try to leave a clear path for anyone using the footpath.
