Only one wheel on Anne's wheelie bin... and the refuse collectors won't empty it

Only one wheel on Anne's wheelie bin... and the refuse collectors won't empty it
THINGS certainly did not run smoothly for pensioner Anne Hobson when one of the wheels fell off her grey bin as she was putting it out for collection.
The 71-year-old just about managed to haul the heavy bin 50ft to the end of her driveway, only for waste collectors to refused to empty it — because of the missing wheel.
Now, mother-of-three Mrs Hobson, of Larkhill, Farnworth, has branded the binmen “lazy” and will have to wait until Friday before she receives a replacement.
In the meantime she says she has no idea where she will store the excess waste she will accumulate.
She said: “I was putting out the grey bin but, one of the wheels dropped off. With the other wheel still attached, I managed to drag the bin to the end of my long driveway.
“But later on, I discovered it hadn’t been emptied.”
She said: “I can drag the bin 50ft to the end of my driveway, but able-bodied men can’t take it from the kerbside and have it emptied into the wagon just a few feet away.
“They’re just lazy and it seems they want the job done for them.”
She is also unhappy that a new grey bin won’t be delivered until Friday to coincide with the next collection day. I’ve nowhere now to put rubbish and excess waste. And I’m annoyed that I can’t get a new bin until the end of the week.”
Her son, Andrew added: “It’s absolutely ridiculous that a 71-year-old woman can drag a bin with one wheel to the end of her long driveway when 6ft tall, 15-stone binmen can’t empty it.
“And I’m also upset that she won’t get another bin earlier. It seems to be all about what suits them.”
A Bolton Council spokeswoman said: “The bin was not emptied due to the missing wheel.
“It will be replaced free of charge next Friday, the delivery day for this area, and any excess waste will also be removed next Friday.”

Mrs Hobson, stick by your guns. You are the victim of the binmen's lack of any compassion or even common sense.

Slung the bin over their back carried it to the wagon and emptied it - no need to worry about which day they came as they came onto your property to get it.
My Grandma could do the job these days,
wheels or no wheels!.

If one of those binmen wrecks their back pulling that bin around and can't work for 6 weeks, do you think Mrs Hobson will be interested in paying his loss of earnings? Nah.. didn't think so. Mrs Hobson needs to stop being a victim.

All she is asking for is a bit of common sense . How will the bin be moved next Friday? Is it going to mend itself?

Hold on, if it was my mum that this had happened to I'd have tried to fix the bin or arrange for the waste to be bagged up and taken to the tip or shoved in my own bin. Yes, it's an inconvenience for a short period of time but sometimes it's family that has to look after each other rather than relying on the council/government.

As it is, the story strongly suggests that this has only happened once and she has a replacement bin coming at the end of the week. This really wasn't even much to complain about, least of all end up in the paper moaning about it.

Give and take people give and take.
The council want us to do the hard work for them so they can earn millions from our recycled waste and collect grants plus avoid fines. We should all just start weighing in our own aluminum, glass etc. Take some cash away from this hard done to sub-standard council.

People! people! people! "those lazy binmen" you're all complaining about remove between 1500-2000 wheelie bins, containing 12-15 Tonnes of refuse every day Monday to Friday (this tonnage is due to increase drastically when the council returns to fortnightly collections this coming May). They walk on average 11 miles during the course of working a day and do this in all weathers (unless the conditions are hazardous to public safety as was the case recently when heavy snow caused the service to be suspended for three days) In the past few years "Those lazy binmen" have lost their productivity bonus and had their job down graded, so that they're now paid approx £7000 below the national average wage. So please think again! The binmen can be described in lots of ways but "lazy" isn't one of them :-)

Ah well it's the councils fault all this.
Has anyone questioned the ridiculous waste of time this is?
Some poster said 'When bin men were bin men they put the bins on their back and emptied them'. Very true, but lets hope that times have moved on since then and life is easier for us all'
Talking about how life used to be. Can you imagine if 20yr- 30yrs ago someone rang the BEN and said 'My bin's not been emptied' and the BEN editor thought 'Hell fire this is one big story. Hold the front page. Get the guy with the camera out there double quick'.
Why on earth is this non-story considered newsworthy?
I think it's just a silly attempt to criticise the council.

This is newsworthy? I want to use words like !?*% in my following entry but I will have to paraphrase. Our bin has been emptied only 3 times in the last 11 weeks - we have bin bags stacking up in our back yard because some ignorant 'neighbour' (paraphrase 1) parks their car in the back street and the bin 'men' (paraphrase 2) can't get past. I have phoned the council and the 'gentleman' (paraphrase 3) I get through to usually tells me that he doesn't know why. I have fronted the bin 'men' (parahrrase 4) about this many times and they point to the parked car and say that's why they won't empty the bin I have ended up taking Christmas waste to the tip in my car even though I pay council tax just like the 'lady' (paraphrase 5) in this 'story'(paraphrase 6). I long for the old days when binmen were men and took pride in theier jobs but those days are gone, we live in a society where most people whether they are council employees or not are look ing for a quick compensation claim. It's sad but it's the way it is and it will just get worse. I really can't believe that people actually took the time to write on here that thier bin wasn't put back where it was left and they had to walk a few yards extra to fetch it in. Dear me, I really feel for you...
sorry, but it's called having pride in your job. It's not difficult to put things back where they came from is it? Not only does it make the pavements a mess it also causes an obstruction for pedestrians - some of whom end up walking in the road (pensioners/folk with prams etc)
The council harp on about keeping Bolton clean/tidy... then why cant some of their employees?

Funny but we have a binperson who comes round our patch before the wagon arrives on the scene and his sole aim in life is to empty as many wheelie bins into one by physically lifting and tipping them into each other yet they cannot it seems between several of them manage to lift one bin into position to get it emptied into the wagon So this clown that does the one bin into another one can only assume is looking to put in a substantial personal injury claim to this employers and screw them (and us the taxpayer) for as much compensation as he can get!! Health and Safety is a complete nonsense at times and this is undoubtedly one of them!!! what a sad world we are now heading into where common sense is replaced by "compensationit

And I can't believe how many people just wanted to use this story to slag off the binmen! Personally I wouldn't do their job for a gold pig.
I do agree though that they could have still emptied the bin with one wheel but the fact this lady has to wait for a new bin and will miss a collection can't be that much of a problem, surely it wouldn't be that full anyway. Mother of 3 but surely these people are adults now?? Do they live at home??
We sometimes don't put ours out because it's not even half full. We tend to recycle most rubbish so there is very little actually goes in my grey bin.

Dont set me off on Binmen, had many a run in with them over the years, and their bosses. Just another tail of how it is with them. Any excuse not to empty a bin. What is it with Bolton and his sad excuse for a bin collection service, I live in Portsmouth now and have to say they are excellent round here, even collect on Monday if its a PUBLIC holiday. No issues weekly collections no whinging about them in the local press, so it can be done.

Why did this woman ring the BN news desk with this stupid 'Non-story'?. But more importantly why did the paper think it was worth devoting column inches and sending out a photographer who then told her to 'Frown now' before he took her pic. I can only assume the reason the BN gave this 'Wheel falls off bin' story any credence is because the owners have a certain political bias, much the same as the rest of the media.
I can't believe we have to pay for this service?? Surely the council should do everything for free for us??
And as for this 'recycling'...how dare they assume we all want to leave a better world for our children?? If I wanted to pass on a decent world to my kids, I'd buy them school uniform instead of buying this lovely can of special brew!! Bolton Council, take note!!

People! people! people! "those lazy binmen" you're all complaining about remove between 1500-2000 wheelie bins, containing 12-15 Tonnes of refuse every day Monday to Friday (this tonnage is due to increase drastically when the council returns to fortnightly collections this coming May). They walk on average 11 miles during the course of working a day and do this in all weathers (unless the conditions are hazardous to public safety as was the case recently when heavy snow caused the service to be suspended for three days) In the past few years "Those lazy binmen" have lost their productivity bonus and had their job down graded, so that they're now paid approx £7000 below the national average wage. So please think again! The binmen can be described in lots of ways but "lazy" isn't one of them :-)
