MISSING OUT

North Lincolnshire Council caught us out this morning - and probably others aswell - by coming early (in terms of days) to collect the red (paper and plastic) recycling bin.
Doubtless they put the arrangements in Direct Magazine, which we'd foolishly thrown away without cutting out the relevant list. However, a check of our bin reveals the council sticker on the top lists collection dates for last year, not this. Not that we are using that as a valid excuse.
Years ago - going back to the days of Glanford Borough Council - they used to take our prominent adverts in the Scunthorpe Telegraph and Target, listing the revised collection dates for Christmas and New Year.
This Blog has also offered, in the past, to publicise the Brigg area collection dates if the council sends us the relevant list.
That offer still stands.
However, as nothing has been received, we've had a trawl round the council website and found our street's collection dates, which may be of use to you.
