what time do your dustmen come to collect rubbish? What time are they *allowed* to come?

[mckenzie]

Our dustmen seem to be coming earlier and earlier and we are always woken by them. We live on a corner and they reverse down the side road with their bleeper sounding. Loudly. Even in the winter if our windows are all shut we are still woken by them, as are our neighbours.
is there a time restriction does anyone know?

Ours often turn up at 6:30, about half an hour before I have to get up. And yet the council disapprove of people putting their bins out overnight! I'm not getting up at 6am to put the bin out.

6.45 isn't early though is it

There isn't one person in our close not up by then, even the retired peeps are up then.

That's only an hour before half the country starts work/school

Between 6.30am - 7.00am, if they come.....

[jelliebelly]

What time are they waking you up? Ours come just before 7.

[AnneElliott]

Ours start at 6.45am. We're always up by then though.

[chocoshopoholic]

I leave for work at 645 and they've been before them.

Alternating re-C and rubbish collections. Arrive any time in the morning. Very regular and dependable. No complaints from me.

Ooof a 7 year old thread about rubbish. Exciting.

Our bins have to be out by 7am and the first pickup to our road is usually shortly after that. Few things I hate more is when on a non-school day I'm woken by the noise and we've forgotten to put the bins out...scramble into clothes to at least get t'other out before the other one. (Random whether big bin or recycling one first, wish it was always the latter as not so bad if that isn't emptied for 4 weeks as the grey or brown!)
