Will update item.<br /><br />09:54, whilst I am always pleased to see TDC saving money, they need to consider the impact on the electorate of a bin collection system that collapses under the strain of not paying overtime to catch up and the weather conditions forecasted. Its interesting how rubbish not being collected has hit national news level! My only thought is that Thanet, that escaped the worst snow problems has the same collection snafu as areas hit with deep and prolonged snow. Hopefully, a rethink for next year's Christmas Holiday period will occur.Bertie Biggleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14197385124719226254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-273124520330547347.post-32624895720235054842010-01-14T09:54:55.959+00:002010-01-14T09:54:55.959+00:00last year tdc spent £18,000 on overtime payments f...last year tdc spent £18,000 on overtime payments for the Christmas period waste collections, this year they decided they had to reduce it by " heyho i know lets just not bother to collect the rubbish".<br />Another pp contract by tdc where they didn't take into account all the costs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-273124520330547347.post-86534872979986394292010-01-14T09:27:30.325+00:002010-01-14T09:27:30.325+00:00The recycling routine restarts on 28/29 January fo...The recycling routine restarts on 28/29 January for those properties affected, there will be black bin and side waste collections this week; black bin next week, and blue bin 28/29 January.

Many of them are now utterly confused about what to put out when and do not have the luxury of a trip to the tip. No one begrudges bin-men a holiday but they provide an essential service to the community and perhaps it is the parsimony of their employers , TDC, who have not been prepared to pay extra for collections during the holiday period. On the subject of Labour Govt and Thanet; where do you you think all the money has come from for TC, Dreamland and regeneration in millions?Bertie Biggleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14197385124719226254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-273124520330547347.post-60958156200080344562010-01-13T15:51:58.113+00:002010-01-13T15:51:58.113+00:00how sad peoples lives must be having to moan about...how sad peoples lives must be having to moan about waste bins,and when they are picked up do people not think that waste collection men should have time off for xmas how sad must there lives be but then if you are labour that is the only thing to moan about when you read all what the labour party have done for the uk and for thanet <br />yes you are right nothing so think onAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-273124520330547347.post-3810254095949958142010-01-12T19:50:15.845+00:002010-01-12T19:50:15.845+00:00E-mail from TDC telling me if I'm due for a bl...E-mail from TDC telling me if I'm due for a blue bin next week that's what it'll be.

Just seen the dustbin men drive down the road at break neck speed collecting any loose black sacks, which don't include mine seeing as I didn't think the whole of Ramsgate wanted to see my festering rubbish on the pavement.
