Most of Smithies workforce spend more time smoking weed than emptying bins. Random tests introduced because the management know it's happening. Try refusing to pay your council tax and the finance department at BMBC will soon send you a threatening letter.
Is it too much to ask that safety of the operatives could be left to their own good sense and experience? They are not idiots.
Well, whatever the new safety rules are it seems to have resulted in the bins being left more or less outside the right property!
Mine have always been put back where they were placed by residents. Now I have to move 6 people's bins from across my drive every week
