Here in Rotherham we now have our wheely bin collected every two weeks, and on the weeks they dont empty they collect the green garden waist bin, the blue box for tin and glass, and the paper recycling. Yesterday was the turn of the 'recycling'. i understood the whole part of recycling, and beeing green was to 'save the plannet'. Why then, does one truck come along and collect the paper, then, some time later a second truck comes along to empty the blue box of tin cans and glas bottles, and then, a third truck to collect the garden waist? 
Yesterday, I left the green bin, the blue box and the blue bag at the bottom of the drive, as always then tootled off to work. When i came home, blue box, empty, blue bag, empty, green bin...erm..not empty. Did they not come to empty the green bins today? I asked Eric, my elderly next door neighbour. 'Oh yes.' he replied. 'They emptied everybodys but yours.'.
What, did i not leave it possitioned corectly on the pavement? The lid wasnt up, it wasnt heavy, infact, it was barley full atall, but that's hardly the point. Am i to get a rebait on my council tax for a mising collection? If that had been the rubbish bin missed, and it had to wait 4 weeks to be emptied i dread to think the state we would be in.
Thats it. Rant over.
