Maggots and bin men

[funnyfish]

My wheelie bin is covered in maggots, I've poored about 5 kettles of boiling water over them as well as a bucket full of bleach/water and I leave it for 5 minutes and its crawling again...

Is it right that the bin men don't have to take then bin if it has maggots on it? I don't know what to do because until it gets emptied they're going to keep coming...

When that happened to my bin I phoned the council and insisted they sort it out telling them I had young children who couldn't avoid passing it. They took it away and replaced it with a new one within hours.

Mine had maggots in it because the bin men hadn't taken it as it was about an inch away from the correct place. We usually get it cleaned every fortnight.

Have you tried wrapping all food waste in newspaper?
It does help.
We wrap all food in about 2-4 layers of paper.
