Disruption To Bin Collections

April 28, 2022 by [email protected]

The latest news to bring yet more disruption to local residents is that your local bin man is threating to go on strike over pay. Bin strikes in Manchester could be called off if workers vote to agree on a ‘revised’ pay offer.

Earlier this month, members of trade unions GMB and Unite – who make up more than half of the workforce – took part in a ballot with up to 94 per cent voting in favour of industrial action over an ‘offensive’ pay offer by Biffa.

The outsourced waste company, which has a contract with Manchester council for bin collections, offered most of its staff a 1.75 per cent pay rise – worth 17p an hour. Some workers said they were prepared to ‘picket until Christmas’ over the offer.

If the strikes go ahead, up to 220,000 households could be affected. Industrial action is currently set to begin on May 3 for ten days, with a further two weeks of strikes planned from May 23.

In a update issued yesterday (April 27), GMB said refuse workers are now set to vote on a revised offer that has been put forward. If workers accept the deal, the strike action will be called off. The result of the vote is expected tomorrow (Friday). The details of the offer have not been revealed at this stage.

Michael Clark, GMB Organiser, said: “GMB and Unite met with Biffa today. After long negotiation, the council made a revised offer which will now be put to our members to vote on. The result of that vote is expected Friday.”

Brighton and Hove have just returned to work after 2 weeks with a deal made with GMB.

This however caused a massive problem in only 2 weeks with a back log of bin bags now sitting on the streets and the council have stated that this will take up to 4 weeks to clear.

Contractors were called in on Sunday to start tackling the backlog, and could be used again in addition to the council workers to speed up the cleaning process.

Brighton and Hove City Council said blocked pavements and vermin had become a “growing and serious” health issue.

If you’ve ever had to smell two weeks of waste piled up in your city’s streets trust me it is not pleasant.

Which Trusted Trader and How To Become A Member

April 14, 2022 by [email protected]

Which Trusted Trader

What does becoming a Which Trusted Trader mean? At which they have been testing products and services for over 60 years, so being able to display the logo gives our consumers the knowledge that we are a reputable and trustworthy company.

How did we manage to achieve this?

Once you apply you have to then go through a rigorous assessment by a trading standard professional. They visit your headquarters where they carry out a face to face interview to establish exactly what service you offer and how you go about running your daily duties. A thorough examination of business and administrative procedures to ensure that you have your customers interests in mind. They will do a credit report to validate the financial health of your business.

You then have to provide them with customers details who you have recently used along with long standing customers. They then contact them for a reference to validate that the service you are offering was carried out to the highest standard and that they were happy with the end results.

Once all this has been carried out they write a report of the assessment, where you are provided with valuable feedback by the assessor to ensure that you have meet the high standards of all aspects as to how you run your business.

Once you have passed all the checks you are then able to choose whether you want to join the scheme, agreeing to abide by their terms and conditions, Code of Conduct. You then pay the membership fees monthly which allows you to use the logo.

Due to the high demands of the assessment not every business makes the grade. However here at The Rubbish Removers Ltd we are proud to say that we did pass first time and have been a member for many years now and will continue to be one for as long as we are trading. We feel this gives our customers the reassurance that even before they contact us, just looking at our website they can be comfortable that no cowboys will be turning up whether it is a domestic or commercial property.

Missed Bin Collection Crisis

January 26, 2022 by [email protected]

Well here we are January 2022 and finally feeling like we are getting back to some sort of normality, or are we? Recently we have been inundated with calls from residents regarding there bin collection not happening by the council. Many of them believe they have got through to the council only to find they haven’t, which I must admit, also find it very difficult indeed to actually find a number these days that you can call them on.

So, I did a little digging to try and find what the problem was and found this news article.

Bins ‘overflowing’ in parts of England as Covid hits collections

Staff sickness in areas including London, Gloucestershire and Somerset leads to waste services being scaled back.

Bins across parts of England are reportedly “overflowing” with rubbish from the festive period due to Covid-related staff shortages.

London, Manchester, Somerset and Buckinghamshire are among the areas where councillors have warned that bin collections are being scaled back because of staff sickness.

In Enfield, Conservative councillor Stephanos Ioannou said: “I’ve been driving round my ward and seeing bins overflowing and Christmas trees are left outside.”

He said he had received double the number of complaints about missed collections that he would usually receive at this time of year. “Over the Christmas period, usually I get on average 30 emails a week on waste services. I checked my inbox yesterday … and had about 50 or 60.”

Chelmsford city council said 23 members of staff were absent and that three days of food waste collections were cancelled.

North Somerset council, meanwhile, said it was unable to collect 1,000 recycling bins on New Year’s Eve because crews remained “stretched due to staff sickness”. Read on

The Rubbish Removers Secure New Headquarters Amidst Continued Growth

Wed, Jan 19, 2022 9:04

One of the North West’s leading rubbish removal companies is moving to new premises, enabling them to streamline operations and recycle even more waste. The Rubbish Removers, a family-run business that has been specialising in waste removal for the past 20 years, has experienced significant growth during the pandemic, and hopes to better serve its domestic and commercial customer base from its new headquarters in Dukinfield.

The move comes just six years after the firm established a new headquarters on Lord Street, Ashton-Under-Lyne, following a two-year growth period which saw The Rubbish Removers Ltd grow by an impressive 50%. The new office on Outram Road is located less than three miles from the previous headquarters.

The move is certainly necessary, with The Rubbish Removers family doubling since the start of the global health crisis in a bid to meet growing demand. The company is currently collecting record amounts of domestic and commercial waste, totalling around 100 tonnes of rubbish each and every month in addition to transporting more than 100 fridges and upwards of 200 mattresses to suitable recycling facilities located across the North West.

Chris Johnson, The Rubbish Removers Managing Director, says “The industry went through a very challenging period at the start of lockdown; a ‘perfect storm’ of homeowners generating more waste while recycling centres and tips remained closed. Unfortunately, this sparked a rise in the number of unlicensed removals companies who simply dump rubbish or fly tip, rather than disposing of waste in a compliant, responsible, and ethical manner.

“That’s what’s really been the driving force behind our expansion. We’re striving to extend our reliable, professional and trustworthy services to even more households and businesses across the North West and Yorkshire, giving our customers peace of mind that their rubbish is in the best hands.”

Chris, who founded The Rubbish Removers Ltd alongside wife Diane, is not the only one to notice an increase in waste removal demand over the past two years. It’s been reported that household rubbish increased by 20% during the pandemic, with the average household throwing out 1.2 tonnes of waste. To address this increasing demand, The Rubbish Removers extended services from Greater Manchester to incorporate the whole of the North West and Yorkshire.

So what’s next on the growth plan for The Rubbish Removers Ltd? Vehicles. “We’re actively upgrading our fleet of vehicles to be more efficient and ecofriendly, and we’re excited to begin our journey towards carbon neutrality.”
