I am so livid that I feel like crying, but I know I'm probably over reacting and being overly sensitive.
Had problems with bin men in this city before. In my last house they didn't take the bin several times because it wasn't left on the path. However, lots of old people in wheelchairs in the area and pushchairs, so I left it about 10 inches closer to my door so as not to block the path.
Anyway, it seems it's happening again in new house. It's not been taken twice now for silly reasons. Our mistakes, like the odd food item in the wrong bin. Today they haven't taken it. They have RIPPED open the bag completely, rummaged around inside and found a tiny crust off a slice of bread.
Agreed it shouldn't be in there, but sometimes BF forgets. My main gripe is why the hell can they get away with ripping open my bin? What about privacy? Watchdog warn against identity thieves, but you don't expect to have to protect yourself against local council employees.
They were meant to call me back and haven't. I am so angry and I now have a bin that is full and not been taken :cry:
What can I do? I've emailed my complaint and am going to write to the local paper. Is there anything you can do to protect your privacy?
