Shrigley bin collection leads to resident furore
Residents off Osborne Drive in Shrigley are fizzing following a mid-week collection by a council bin lorry.
Explaining the unfolding incident, Declan Maquire who owns his own house, said: “This all kicked off on Wednesday when the Council bin lorry arrived to empty the brown and blue bins.
“Some resident(s) had dumped bin liners full of domestic waste into the black bin which should have gone into the black bin in the blue and brown bins of neighbours.
“As a result, the bin operators removed the bags and put sticky labels on the bins belonging to the bins that were breaching the waste rules.
“I phoned the council several time t o explain what had happened and spoke to several people but did not get a satisfactory answer. The bags were left lying there beside my fence into Wednesday evening.
“By then dogs had ripped the bags open and rubbish was strewn over a wide area. and youngsters had smashed the bottles in the bags. It was a total disgusting mess. There was household waste, sanitary pads, glass and general waste.
“The next day I phoned again and two council workers came out in a van and brushed up and left the rubbish beside my fence. It is still lying there. It is a danger to the public and could even attract vermin.”
