Dustmen

Getting woken up to this

OK, I do not have anything against refuse collectors. They work differently from county to county, some are fortnightly some are weekly.

The ‘green bins’ here are fortnightly and not emptied until 1pm sometimes much later! The bottles on the other hand are every 4 weeks! By the time they come each month the bottles are over flowing! But why the fuck do they come so early to empty them?

Why cant they come and empty the other stuff first? It don’t make as much noise!  I shot out of bed at 7:15am to the almighty racket of the bottles being emptied into the truck, realising mine were not out at the road side yet as the month before they come at 8:30am. So, I ran out with the bottles as quick as lightening just to see the truck rounding the corner! Now I have to drive to the bottle bank and use my petrol to empty them myself! So, I have written a little reminder to myself…..“work out on the calender when they are next back…and put the bottles out the night before! and hope that they dont come so unexpectedly” and early next time!
