max Posted August 28, 2003 Share Posted August 28, 2003 Originally posted by Classic Rock I've never found out yet when my blue bin is meant to be collected. It is full but never been put out to be emptied. Should be a sticker on top of the bin giving collection dates. If it's not there then look on a neighbour's bin or go to the council web site and look there or ring environmental services and ask them or contact your local councillor who should be able to find out for you.

Susana Posted August 30, 2003 Author Share Posted August 30, 2003 Great idea Tina, but I literally do not have a space where it would not be highly visible. It wouldn't fit in with my colour scheme in any room. I could put it in the cellar but then I'd be up and down all the time with tins, bottles etc. Oh dear, what a dilemma. So hablas espanol entonces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susana Posted August 30, 2003 Author Share Posted August 30, 2003 Not sure about the bins being chipped, but the boxes certainly aren't (well not yet, it might be when I've chucked it down the cellar steps!) They are just bog standard plastic storage type boxes in a hideous bright blue colour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxwell1945 Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 Just read about the new blue boxes that are to be distributed.My blue bin has been left outside today to be collected along with the rest of the street but where are Veoila,is that their name ?,blue bin not collected and the weekend is upon us.Have read about councils fining people for not bringing their bins in promptly how about Sheffield council fining Veiola.I think they are taking the p~~ out of us .Why cannot everthing go in one bin like it does in other countries and be sorted mechanically by magnets etc for tins .Before long we will be expected to take our bins to the local tip.Talking about tips do you think the staff employed at these places have to under go a charisma by pass to be employed there.

Strix Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 What 'other countries'? When holidaying in Italy, you have to take ALL of your sorted rubbish to the nearest recycling point, within easy walking distance - no 'personal' refuse bins at all! Come to think, Amsterdam has a similar system We don't know we're born with our kerbside collections from right outside our houses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luybell Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 My hubby seems to think that the blue bin we currently have for paper will be used for glass & cans after the next collection & that we will have a blue box for paper. I think its a good idea as we always have several bags next to the bin full of glass etc to take for recycling. I hate throwing this stuff in the normal bin so it will save us a job. I also hate standing at the glass bin throwing all the bottles in one at a time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorri Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 My hubby seems to think that the blue bin we currently have for paper will be used for glass & cans after the next collection & that we will have a blue box for paper. Yes that's right, in the next 4/5 weeks I won't have to take all the glass, plastic & cans to the tip (recycling centre) any more I'm just worried the box won't be big enough for all the paper & card we seem to accumulate and will it blow away when put on the kerbside!

hard2miss Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 They can shove mine where the sun dont shine. Ill burn the lot on the back yard rarther than have it all over the place. This is what happens when you privertize public organisations. I bet this has nothing to do with the district heating system being able to burn paper and card cheaper and cut down on their sorting costs.
