Chesterfield Discussion / Re: Blue bin (non) collections
« on: January 15, 2021, 11:22:36 AM »Today was our scheduled day for our blue bin to be emptied, only it hasn't. I'm aware that the weather must play a large part in why it hasn't been emptied, but the green bin collection lorry has managed to get round!Our blue bin wasnt collected up at Brookside but green was, saw something on a Facebook page where someone had asked about it and they were pointed in the direction of a council post mentioning there had been some issues. One person mentioned that the collection people were struggling due to a lack of people as so many were having to isolate due to Covid which sounds plausible. I just left ours out and it was collected yesterday.
This may sound churlish of me to moan, but this is the 4th consecutive time that it hasn't been emptied on the scheduled day. A couple of times they blamed it on the lorry braking down (it's contracted out to Wards Recycling).
Looking on the councils missed bin collection web page they have missed what seems to be the whole of Brampton, Ashgate, Brockwell, Loundsley Green and Walton.
I would've thought that they could at least have done the main roads?
