blue stickered black rubbish bag left at our letterbox

Diane from Frankton

A few weeks ago I noticed a blue stickered black rubbish bag left at our letterbox for the rubbish collection. After 3 weeks and not been collected by the council rubbish truck, I realised it had been blue stickered due to the weight of the bag, even though it was only half full. So this week I opened the bag to find piles of undelivered circulars/pamplets for supermarkets, warehouse etc. I should have rung the manager for the area to advise them that probably one of their lazy delivery persons just couldnt be bothered delivering them.
I divided the contents into 4 bags so the Council rubbish collector would pick the bag up. (Which they did)
Next time I will be informing an area manger, so please keep an eye out for this if happens at your letterbox.
