Brigg householders should be aware that we are all due for an extra collection of our green/black general waste wheelie-bin today (Tues 21st). North Lincolnshire Council is also planning to send the boys round for our mauve plastics/cardboard bins.
During a drive across Brigg last night, surprisingly few green/black general waste bins had been put out for collection, which explains this reminder.
This is the time of year when households generate most general waste - so congratulations to North Lincolnshire Council for its response.
Update 10.37am Tuesday: They've already been to our street and emptied the plastics/cardboard bin and are now here dealing with the general waste bin. Perhaps there's still time to get your bin out in the street, as the lads are a couple of hours later than usual emptying ours. No criticism intended - keep up the good work in trying conditions!
NEXT TUESDAY (28th) THE SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS WILL CONTINUE AND GENERAL HOUSEHOLD WASTE BINS IN BRIGG WILL BE EMPTIED FOR THE THIRD SUCCESSIVE WEEK - EVEN THOUGH IT'S A BANK HOLIDAY. BE SURE TO PUT YOURS OUT AND COMPLY WITH THE COUNCIL'S REQUEST TO CHECK THE LID IS NOT FROZEN SHUT.
One trick you can use to stop your bin-lids freezing shut, Scribs, is to rub some clean grease along the lid's underside rim.
ReplyDeleteSimilarly - the same trick can be used on car doors which tend to freeze closed - but instead of grease, rub PETROLEUM JELLY along the doors' rubber seals.
