Came home to this.
Had been sitting all day with this bright orange sticker on telling all the neighbours what a deviant I am 😂

  2. Why is the recycling here so bad? The lids barely stay on the boxes.. every recycling day there are hundreds of plastic bottles just laying about blown everywhere. I thought they were changing to stacked boxed on a trolley or something years ago.

  3. I like that yer reflection has you in the bottle.

  4. Overloaded? How stupid is that. Bang them in the bin for land fill then. Well done council.

  6. Must just be lazy binmen, mine is always to that level and there is never a problem. Same council area too.

  8. Same thing happened to me before.

    The recycling collectors should be ashamed of themselves. Jobsworths

  10. Sad state of affairs. It would be light enough to lift. H&S gone mad.

  11. Anyway… by the looks of it I hope you had a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, OP 🤭

  12. I recently caught a neighbour stroking the lid of my bottle bin on my CCTV, nothing more satisfying than watching someone squirm when they’re caught red handed

  13. I wonder if it would be overloaded if you broke them all

  15. They don’t collect bottles/glass in my area so it goes in the general waste. I pay full rates too. I recycle what they request and I pay for garden waste to be collected. I’m not collecting bottles to take to the bank. So there.

  16. Some jobsworth there what difference does it make to whack that into the lorry

  18. It probably took longer to make out that notice than it would have for them to just dump it

  19. So it’s compulsory to pay for the service and still they can refuse to serve you? What a load of ….. It’s not as if they couldn’t lift a few bottles , chuck them in first, then empty the box into the lorry

  20. Surely after the holidays they expect over loaded bins?

  24. I’m just thinking..are the contents of this box a Christmas thing, or a Friday morning thing in Belfast?

  25. Bet they believe matrix conspiracies and then adhere robustly to the system when they see a bottle sticking out.

  26. ~~Antrim and Newtownabbey allow excess to go in a plastic bag beside the kerbie box (or trolley) as long as it’s pre-sorted. It’s also collected by Bryson. Maybe they’d accept like that for you too?~~

    Edit: I’m wrong – it’s not ok for glass:

    “If either box is full you can use overflow bags. Only put one type of materials in each bag. Never put glass in overflow bags – we cannot accept this for safety reasons.”

  27. I know *you shouldn’t have to*, but you can [order additional bins here](https://ardsandnorthdown.gov.uk/Order-a-new-bin-or-kitchen-caddy)

    Edit: This is specific to Ards and North Down Council

    Bryson cover recycling for:

    • Antrim and Newtonabbey Borough Council
    • Belfast City Council
    • Mid and East Antrim Borough Council
    • Lisburn and Castlereagh City Council

  28. The only embarrassment is them being useless cunts. Shocking stuff

  29. That is just ridiculous. We have just had Christmas and new years of course it’s going to be over flowing. I’d complain!
    We have this problem every fortnight. They pick up the bins every two weeks and if a bin is over flowing they just leave it there. Our road is constantly full of rubbish because of it not to mention the foxes often pull the bins over and rip all the bags open before blasting it up and the path ways. Our council is absolute joke and one time I received a fine for flytipping because a bag of rubbish wouldn’t fit in the bin due to it over flowing so I put in the floor next to my bin and I get a £50 fine for fly tipping which I refuse to pay.

  30. I never got a glass box (or it was stolen before I got it) and despite numerous phone calls/ emails/ chats with the bin men, still don’t have one.

    Usually, I am able to put mine into the other neighbours boxes (with their permission) and one month I had had a birthday party so had too many to put in other people’s boxes.

    I lined them all up neatly in a plastic box that was similar to their ones, and they didn’t lift it 🫣

    Granted it’s prob health and safety/policy.. but it was so neat

  31. I used to sneak off to the bottle bank under the cover of darkness.

  33. The “worker” who slapped that note on should be embarrassed, not you: aKsHully tHiS Is ovErlOadED

  34. Glass recycling, unlike plastic and paper, is profitable for the council. It’s like being banned from a shop for spending too much

  35. Binman here not for a council mind you. That’s just some fella with the hump not a jobsworth just being lazy. And to play devils advocate the fact it’s slightly over loaded means it’s more likely to spill if rushing to load them when u have a thousand to grab that day, then u have to clean the glass up easier for him to whack a sticker on and keep going

  36. Hardly any bottles in it sounds like they just could not be assed to lift a tiny box of bottles

  37. This has been a thing since Covid days u had to separate u glass plastic and tin don’t see what ur issue is

  38. This has been the norm everyday I’ve dropped into waste recycling since Xmas, seems like you’re normal 😉

  40. This is kind of silly. It’s not that crazy. Plus it was holiday time? They should expect temporary upticks in booze bottles.
    Fwiw you can go to a park somewhere like hazelbank and they have big glass bins.

  42. Fuck it on the ground. Let the council deal with broken glass
