"NO NOTICE AT ALL"
I GOT A NEW BIN DELIVERED YETERDAY FOLKS NO NOTICE AT ALL IT JUST DROPPED .
OFF ONE OF THE LOCAL COUNCIL WAGONS IT MADE ME JUMP I WAS SHOCKED.
I WAS SAT IN THE LOUNGE READING QUIETLY AND SUCH A RACKET RANG OUT.
MY HEART SKIPPED A BEAT AS I SAT UP SO THROUGH THE WINDOW I THEN LOOKED OUT.
ANOTHER GREEN CONTAINER FLUNG DOWN FROM A WAGON TRAVELLING AROUND .
JUST THROWN OUT THE BACK OF THE WAGON AND LOUDLY IT FELL TO THE GROUND.
I WONDERED WHAT REALY HAD HAPPEND IT HIT THE GROUND WITH A BANG.
THEN CONTINUOUS BANGS WERE HEARD UP AND DOWN CONTAINERS DROPPED WITH A CLANG.
THE DRIVER WAS SAT WELL BACK IN THE CAB ANOTHER MAN THROWING THESE DOWN.
GOOD GRIEF I THOUGHT I CAN DO THAT JOB AND I WOULDN'T HAVE MADE A SOUND.
I WOULD AT LEAST HAVE AIMED FOR THE GRASS INSTEAD OF THE DRIVE OF CONCRETE.
DO THESE COUNCIL WORKERS DO ANYTHING RIGHT THATS SENSIBLE AND NEAT.
I LOOKED AT THIS GREEN CONTRAPTION LIKE A MILK CRATE AND THOUGHT WHAT IS THIS.
MY NEIGHBOUR BESSIE SHOUTS OUT THANK GOODNESS KATH THEY HAVE HAD A NEAR MISS.
I WAS JUST COMING OUT TO GO SHOPPING AND MINE HAS JUST FLOWN RIGHT PAST.
MY LEG AND I WONDERED WHATEVER WAS HAPPENING AND THE WAGON JUST DROVE ON QUITE FAST.
ONLY FOR JARS AND BOTTLES IT STATES WELL HOW MANY FLIPPING JARS .
DOES A SINGLE OCCUPANT EMPTY IN ONE WEEK NOT MANY I THOUGHT WHAT A FARSE.
I AM LUCKY IF I EMPTY ONE A WEEK MARMALADE OR BEETROOT LETS SAY.
THEN THERES THE GREEN BIN FOR PAPER BUT NO SHREDDINGS TO PASS THIS WAY.
NO PAPER SHREDDINGS TO BE PLACED IN HERE HOW STUPID DOES THAT SEEM I ASK.
ARE THEY RIGHT IN THERE MINDS THESE COUNCILLORS RECYCLING IS NOW A REAL TASK..
NO PIREX GLASS IN THE GLASS BIN NO PLASTIC DISHES OR TRAYS.
NO LIGHT BULBS OR BROKEN DRINKING GLASSES THREE BINS NOW STAND IN MY WAY.
THERES ANOTHER TO COME YET AND THEY ARE ASKING TO KEEP THESE INSIDE THE HOUSE.
NOW FRIENDS I AM THINKING I BEST HAVE A COUPLE A DAY OF SOME FAMOUS GROUSE.
HE-HE.
OR MY GLASS BIN WILL BE QUITE EMPTY EACH WEEK WHEN THEY COME ROUND TO COLLECT.
AND EMPTY IT INTO THERE WAGON MY EXUSE FOR A TIPPLE PERFECT. HE-HE
THEN AGAIN SOME PEOPLE ARE LEAVING THESE BINS OUTSIDE FOR ALL TO SEE.
WHEN GANGS AND TEENAGERS THEY PASS BY I CAN VISION WHAT I MIGHT SEE.
GLASS BOTTLES AND JARS THROWN AT THERE RANDOM UP AGAINST ANY WALL.
IT DOESN'T TAKE LONG FOR SOME LUNATICS TO CLICK ONTO DOING THIS AT ALL.
A FRIEND OF MINE HAS ALREADY HAD THIS DONE IN HER AREA ONLY LAST WEEK.
WHEN SHE SHOUTED OUT TO THE TEENAGERS ALL SHE GOT WAS LOTS OF CHEEK.
THE GENERAL WASTE IS BEING EMPTIED NOT FORTNIGHTLY BUT THREE WEEKS NOW.
SO I BETTER START DRINKING NOT EATING TO FILL UP THESE BINS SOMEHOW.
I WILL NEED A LARGE EXTENTION AS WELL I HAVE THAT MANY BINS IN MY HOME.
AM I NAGGING OR AM I RIGHT WOULD YOU SAY HAVING A REAL GOOD MOAN.
NO SERIOUSLY THOUGH I FEEL RIGHT NOW US PENSIONERS COULD DO WITH A GOAD..
TO HELP US WITH A CRATE FULL OF GLASS TO BE LIFTED DOWN PATHS TO THE ROAD.
WHAT IF WE FELL AND DROPPED IT ALL AND THEN HAD AN ACCIDENT ON GLASS.
I KNOW I DON'T TRUST MYSELF CARRYING ONE AS YOU KNOW WELL THIS YORKSHIRE LASS.
HAS MANY A TIPPLE THE ALL FALL DOWN TYPE NOT THE ONES FROM A BOTTLE.
I AM LIVID AND LET ME TELL YOU AT THIS TIME I WOULD LOVE TO THROTTLE.
THE PERSON WHO CAME UP WITH THIS BRIGHT IDEA HE'S NOT PUT MUCH THOUGHT IN TO ME.
AS THE GENERAL WASTE BIN WEIGHS A TON ALSO WHEN FULL UP WOULDN'T YOU AGREE.
THESE WORKMEN THERE JOB GETS EASIER AND STILL THEY GET THE SAME PAY.
BRING BACK THE COAL FIRES I SAY AND LETS BURN OUR RUBBISH AWAY.
NO VERMIN AROUND NO BINS IN THE HOME NO SMELLS AND ALL OF THE REST.
THE COAL FIRE AND OLD METAL BINS OF YESTERYEAR WERE SURELY IN MY MIND THE BEST.
SO I AM GOING SHOPPING TODAY FRIENDS AND MY LIST IS MADE OUT AS SUCH.
SEVEN BOTTLES OF FAMOUS GROUSE WHOO-HOO AND ON MY FOOD LIST NOT MUCH . HE-HE
SEVEN JARS OF LOVELY BEETROOT AND SEVEN JARS OF COFFEE TOO.
SEVEN JARS OF MARMALADE AND NOT FORGETTING BOTTLES OF TONIC A FEW . HE-HE.
A BOX OF CANDLES FOR EVENING TIME AS LIGHTBULBS I CANNOT PLACE .
IN THE GREY BIN OR GREEN BIN OR NEW CONTAINER SO WHERE DO THEY GO A DISGRACE.
HOW DO YOU RATE THIS NEW RECYCLING JOB I KNOW WHAT THE REASON IS FOR.
BUT THE OLD FASHIONED COAL FIRE FOR BURNING THINGS IS STILL IN MY MIND QUITE RAW.
WELL IT'S RAINING CATS AND DOGS AGAIN FOLKS SO AT LEAST I WON'T HAVE TO WASH.
MY GREY BIN TODAY I'LL JUST LEAVE THE LID UP AND LET THE RAIN DO IT MY GOSH.
IV'E BEEN LOOKING AROUND JUST NOW AND IV'E SPOTTED MILLIONS OF SNAILS HAVING FUN.
EATING ALL MY PANSIES AND BEDDING PLANTS I'LL HAVE TO GET MY PELLET GUN.
WHAT WITH RECYCLING PAPER AND GLASS TIN CANS SNAILS TO RID DO YOU THINK.
I WILL GET CHANCE AT ALL TO HAVE AFTERNOON NAPS AS I NEED MY FORTY WINKS.
I AM HOPING THAT WHEN ALL IS SORTED THE BIN MEN ARRIVE HERE ON TIME .
OR I'LL BE UNDER MY RUBBISH TANKED UP NO TIME TO WRITE "MY SIMPLE RHYMES".

I am sure a woman would have made no noise at all....noisy men!!! Grrrrr. They certainly have put restrictions on the recycling.

I agree throw that bin on the grass. We could do it correctly, couldn't we Kath? We get to dispose of everything (well almost everything) in one bin. Paula

Haha, Kath, you make me laugh. We have recycle bins but we can put everything in one bin, which is unusual. Glass, paper, plastic, metal all together. They pick that up every other week. Trash every week. Our trash men are none too gentle either. When they empty the bins, they just throw them. They end up in the middle of the street or wherever. Mine got broken so I needed to buy a new one. We don't have much glass in the US anymore. All the bottles are now plastic except for the booze...hehe. A couple of summers ago, my son and I would down beers by the pool. I'm sure my neighbors were talking about our bin. Love xx Chris

We have a black bag for rubbish and an orange for recycling and they get picked up every week. We also have lots of rats and foxes that catch the rats. I dread to think what would happen if they picked up rubbish fortnightly.
