    Oh no, hopefully they'll do a pick up as soon as snow goes, be a bit of a pain if they leave it to next time

    It's so cold here today and we've had a weather warning about strong gales 'causing a danger to life'.

    I'd best leave my kayak in the garage then.

    I don't know about your neck of the woods @Beaver79 but down here we pay council tax so that the idiots in charge can lease Porsches and enjoy endless liquid lunches while they dream up new ways to waste our money.

    Our bins only get emptied once every two weeks and no extra pick up on xmas

    Our rubbish is taken away every three weeks(unless you live in a flat or in sheltered accommodation),recycling is picked up every week;same as food waste and nappies.
    Garden waste is taken away every other week between the end of March and sometime in November,you have to pay extra for that though.

    Trying to fetch charges here for garden waste too but they already have fly Tipping problems. Will only increase it I think. Rediculas really, like you say, the fat cats in the council with their buffets, last year they all had air conditioning installed, because it was too much effort to plug a fan in

    They've just started charging people to have their Christmas trees taken away,five quid and they have to wait almost a month for them to be collected.

    I don't think there were too many takers.

    The last time we had a bin collection cancelled because of bad weather they came round the following day.

    I would leave them out @Beaver79 chances are they will come but every 3 weeks is a bit too long, okish in winter but summer with the flies

    None here @Autism_at_40
    @teigr everyone here donated their trees to a farmer who requested them for his sheep, who knew sheep eat them

    Mr Teigr has just checked the forecast and informed me that it's supposed to snow at 11 o'clock tonight.
