Bastarding bin lorries

I don't know how they KNOW I've had a shite night with the toddler, but every time I do a massive sodding lorry appears under my window (on residential street) before 6am.

Have rung them repeatedly and been assured drivers aren't allowed in built up areas before 7am and they're very sorry and it won't happen again. Until it does.

Veolia Essex, for example, are twats.

Huh.

I'm not sure why they come as early as 7 tbh, seems a bit daft because they're so LOUD. Should be 9 imo. Yanbu.

Yanbu, mine turned up at 5.45am last Saturday! Never mind they're meant to collect on a Friday here and all the bins are left right outside my bedroom window as no vehicle access to rest of houses. On top of that they collected the garden bins last week at 10.30pm just I was dozing off.
What really annoys me is that I'm paying for the bloody privilege of being woken at the crack of dawn.

They want the bins out ready for 7am round here. they actually come and collect them about 11am. Unless you have forgotten to put it out then they come at 7am. Sad

I had this problem with Veolia -collecting commercial waste including glass from a licensed premises opposite my house at 5.15am every bastard Thursday morning.

They stop for one week then go back to 5.15 the following week. I basically found going ape shit and contacting environmental health worked a treat. Now they come at 11am and my nerves are no longer shot to pieces.

YANBU! We get this, as well as the fucking Biffa van servicing the small business units near our house. As you say, they say they won't do it, until they do it again.

We also used to have deliveries from about 3am every night, resulting in me going out in my pyjamas and getting very angry. Seems to have stopped for now after much nagging to the unit. The fucker who delivered at this time with his stereo on full blast got the full binkybix fury (prob not that scary).

Ours started getting collected earlier and earlier. After a 3 am collection, I rang the council and was told that they're starting early so they can knock off early so they can go fishing. Fuck off! Your fishing trip is not worth waking an entire household at 3am!

Binkybix · 31/05/2013 10:04

Did they stop, midnite?

SueDnym · 31/05/2013 10:08

They come between 6-8am on a frigging SUNDAY in my street. Twats.

MidniteScribbler · 31/05/2013 10:09

Yes they have. They also got their truck fixed, which was making the sort of noise that would have me stopping and looking for a kangaroo under my tyres if my car were making it.
