Grass fly-tipper hit hard in pocket
The message
from Frogleg contains these words: On Mon, 01 Mar 2004 09:22:34 +0000, Victoria Clare wrote: Frogleg wrote We put the wheely bins out at the curb, and they're collected by 1-man trucks with automatic grabbing arms, I don't think that would work in our narrow, steep and winding cornish lanes, where every house is a different distance from the road, and there is certainly no curb (or for that matter, pavement). Oh, but I've seen the Ground Force van in some mighty tight situations. :-) The Ground Force truck is quite a bit smaller than the usual kind of UK dustbin-trucks. And, let me assure you, the locations where the GF truck goes are nowhere near as restricted as rural lanes in Cornwall (and other places).It's common in rural areas, for householders to have to carry their rubbish down to the nearest place the binmen can get the truck...which might be a mile or more from the house. Some areas of the UK do have the kind of trucks that grab a wheely-bin and empty it, but the ones I've seen are never operated by one person alone. There's a driver, plus a team of fetchers who move the bins to the grab and remove them afterwards. Janet. |
