Disruption To Bin Collections

Firstly the latest news brings more disruption for local residents, as your local bin workers now plan to strike over pay. In Addition this action could stop if staff agree to a revised offer.

Earlier this month, GMB and Unite members, over half the workforce, voted on strike action. Hence up to 94% supported a strike after Biffa offered what they called an offensive pay deal.

Also Biffa, the outsourced waste collection company for Manchester council, offered most staff a 1.75% rise. This increase equals only 17p per hour. Some workers said they would picket until Christmas over the offer.

Therefore if the strike goes ahead, up to 220,000 households could lose waste collection services. The strike is set to start on May 3 for ten days, followed by two more weeks from May 23.

However, GMB announced yesterday (April 27) that workers will now vote on a revised offer. If they accept it, the strike will be called off. The vote result is expected tomorrow. Therefore the details of the new offer are not yet public.

Bin Strikes Cause Major Disruption — How It Could Affect Your Area

Michael Clark, GMB organiser, said: “GMB and Unite met with Biffa today. After long talks, the council made a revised offer. We will now put this offer to our members. We expect the vote result on Friday.”

Brighton and Hove workers returned to work after a two-week strike. They reached a deal with GMB. However, the strike caused a huge backlog of bin bags in only two weeks. The council said clearing this waste could take up to four weeks.

Contractors started work on Sunday to reduce the backlog. They may return to help council workers speed up the clean-up.

Brighton and Hove City Council said blocked pavements and vermin became a “growing and serious” health risk. If you have ever smelled two weeks of waste on the street, you know it is not pleasant.

Missed Bin Collection Crisis

by

Student accomodation

Here we are in January 2022, and it finally feels like life is getting back to normal — or is it? Recently, many residents have called us to say their bins haven’t been collected by the council. Many people think they’ve reached the council, only to realise they haven’t. I’ll be honest, it’s also very hard to find a phone number for them these days.

So, I did a bit of digging to see what was going on 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 in parts of England are now “overflowing” after Christmas because Covid has left councils short of staff. Councils in London, Manchester, Somerset, and Buckinghamshire say they must reduce bin collections due to sickness.

In Enfield, councillor Stephanos Ioannou said he drove around his ward and saw overflowing bins and Christmas trees left outside. He explained that he received twice as many complaints as usual. “At Christmas, I normally get about 30 emails a week about waste. Yesterday, I had around 50 or 60.”

Chelmsford City Council said 23 staff members were off sick, so they cancelled three days of food waste collections.

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

Just One Of many Customer Reviews

We receive consistent 5 star rated reviews, on a daily basis. Alison from Creative Concern in Manchester had this to say.

“We had a very short timeframe to vacate our office. with Christmas holidays and a pandemic to deal with it could have been a real nightmare.
However from the first contact with Diane in the Rubbish Removers office through to the last item being taken was slick, efficient and totally professional. Richard and the team who came (Mike, Tom and James) were absolutely excellent.

They were friendly, fast and totally none intrusive to have around. We still had a skeleton operational staff on site and the lads just cracked on around us. They even swept up the floors at the end of each day!

Even our changing list of what needed removing didn’t phase them.

I should also flag that they aim to recycle as much as possible. Our wooden desktops were going to be reused as animal bedding or fuel for wood burners. Which is just fantastic.

Couldn’t recommend them more highly. Thank you all for making what could have been a very stressful job a lot easier.”

Building Waste Removal After Renovation Work

by

Building Waste Removal

At The Rubbish Removers, we provide Building Waste Removal to Businesses, Tradesmen and to the General Public. We can remove waste at the rip-out stage and return to the site on completion of the work to clean up. Our professional teams remove the waste from anywhere on your property and load it onto one of our trucks. We then legally and ethically dispose of all waste at a transfer station, which diverts upwards of 90% from landfill.  

What if my builder has completed his work and left all the Building Waste behind? 

The cost of building waste disposal for ALL tradesmen is on the increase. Subsequently, in such a competitive market this cost is usually the first thing knocked off the price. The customer is then left with unsightly piles of waste on their driveway or in the garden which can attract pests. We provide an efficient solution to remove and dispose of all types of waste from anywhere on your property. 

John has been using The Rubbish Removers on renovation projects for many years. Usually on clearances where a skip was not an option. Here, for example, we cleared waste from a full bedroom and ensuite fit-out in Knutsford. The fitter had to leave the waste in the garden as access was difficult with no driveway. As a result one of our dedicated, local rubbish removal teams worked hard to clear the waste in a timely fashion. We work carefully to respect the customer’s property at all times. At the end of each clearance, we sweep up leaving the area spotlessly clean.
