BINS LADEN

A walk across town very early this morning revealed at least one-quarter of households had failed to put their bins out for collection by the North Lincolnshire Council refuse lorry.
That's odd, given that Christmas is a peak time of year for generating rubbish.
Perhaps some of those householders failed to realise there would be a collection today, as normal, with it being yuletide.
Returning to today's spot survey, a good number of residents who had put out their general waste bins failed to add the box for glass and bottles.
But what we could really have done with this week was emptying of the Burgandy-coloured bins containing cardboard and plastic - both very, very plentiful at Christmas.
Householders with doubts about which bins are to be collected during any given week are advised to visit the council's website, where you can key in your postcode and a handy chart appears, telling you all you need to know.

PS There was one general waste bin this morning, on the kerbside between Wrawby Street and Queen Street, which was so full the lid was propped open at almost 90 degrees. Will the council still empty it?
