🎉 Bin Collection Chaos: How Does Your Town Stack Up? 🗑️
Are you fed up with your rubbish piling up on the curb? You’re not alone! Across the UK, nearly 2.5 million bin collections were missed last year due to strikes, regulations, and even peculiar weather conditions. But which councils are the true culprits?
In Wales, Swansea tops the list with almost 30,000 missed collections in a year. But when population size is factored in, Denbighshire is even worse, missing nearly 25,000 collections. Barnsley takes the unenviable crown for the whole of the UK, missing an eye-watering 146,000 collections! 🚛
Barnsley Council blamed everything from severe weather to the need for fire risk adjustments at waste transfer facilities. In response, they’ve spent an extra £1.8m on staff to tackle the crisis. But why are taxpayers being let down despite forking out their hard-earned cash?
The TaxPayers’ Alliance expressed outrage, questioning what council taxes are going towards if bins are left overflowing. Meanwhile, the Local Government Association defended council bin collection records, claiming public satisfaction remains high.
