nelmac rubbish collection

Jan from Stoke

Hey hang on everyone since new rules...excellent our cardboard and plastic bins...BUT there is alot of coldersacks that house eldery or disabled that cannot possibily get their rubbish out to the streets they branch off...Bear with me...multiple driveways are responsible for maintaince of their own driveway...So are HNZ where alot of these people are housed...I will miss alot of points because it has only just clicked to me...they had to purchase bigger trucks for this new brilliant scheme....so likes of HNz maybe banned bigger trucks due to having to repair tarsealed driveways more often...so what we have is my 93 year old mum who could still get her wheely bin to her letta box down a coldersack..bloody amazing.. I am worse disabled than her....neither of us can get all recycling to roadside...after multiple ph calls today nelmac told me contact presbertyrian services for help...so....thats funny as it will be govt funded...what are disabled and old gonna do with their rubbish meantime???/ also my mum recycles....WOW WOW WOW sorry cant write everything i thinkin...gotta tell you maybe can plan can go down these driveways as their trucks may weigh less ...waiting on word tomorrow...stops disabled peeps recyling...more govt funding needed to pay prestertiarian services...for goodness sake this progress is non-sensible..excuse spelling...really upset
