OUR rubbish collection day has been changed from Wednesday to Thursday and the council has told us to put our rubbish out by 7am.

I put my rubbish out at 6.50am to my dismay the dustman had already been and gone.

Do we have to do get up at 5am to put our rubbish out? I don't think so.

I rang the council and they said put it out the night before. I did. Foxes scavenged the bags causing a mess which we had to clear up.

I phoned the council to inquire about a wheelie bin and they said they do not recommend it as the binmen cannot reach the bottom.

Maybe the council will get its finger out and get the problem sorted.
