Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Bins - a dilemma
I emailed Veolia to complain that my neighbours were leaving a bin out on the street because they had too many in their front garden; Veolia replied saying they would come and remove two of them. Trouble is - I've said nothing to my neighbours, and I don't get on very well with them (long history). I have tried putting their bin inside the gate, but it was promptly put back outside.
I meant my letter as a general complaint about the bin chaos, but they have interpreted it as me acting on my neighbour's behalf...I've had to write and ask them not to collect the bins. Frankly my neighbours are unlikely to phone the council for themselves even if I suggest it (or especially if I suggest it!).
I feel like I've made a bad situation worse, though it does show they are willing to remove the excess bins if requested.

'some houses just do not recycle for whatever reason.'
That's the crunch problem. It needs a big, direct, intervention by LBH/Veolia to any household that gets it wrong, with translators if necessary. Have they really done this, apart from dropping leaflets? I can tell them the people on my road who haven't yet got it. Even the nice young people who have just moved into my Upstairs don't seem to have got it, as I keep finding cans in the landfill bin, I will tackle them more as they speak English and are friendly, but I need LBH's help with the people at #3.

I noticed this yesterday. Clearly needs to be some major intervention here from council/Veolia. As a matter of interest, did you report this to the council/Veolia, Chauncey?

Maybe every case like this should be report on the link for dumping. If Veolia had to make a special trip out for each report then they may do something about it. Something will only be done if profits are hurt. If you say 'in front off' you wouldnt be lying. Residents who pay their council taxes should NOT have to look at this. There are some bad bins on Lausanne Road too....
