I live in Ninth Avenue, Northmead.

I do not have transport to get to Golden Drive to collect a bin.

Surely the council could have used some of their trucks to deliver these bins door-to-door seeing that they want to make it easier for them to pick up rubbish?

As stated by the council, if no bin is collected by May 1, then no pick up of black bags will happen.

I will then deduct that service off my account each month for no service.

And I guess, a few people from the council will also be unemployed by automation?

I need assistance to collect and if they were to be open on a Saturday, then a family member would have been able to assist.

These guys picking up the bags every Friday were so energetic.

All these years, you hear them first – running ahead of the truck and then only hear the truck – always friendly, greeting you, running past your house.

Is that era going to go down with the wheelie bins?
