Council rubbish collection
On walking the dogs this morning we came across rubbish everywhere in Mahi Cres and Te Hono street the drains were also full of it. Rubbish day was yesterday, obviously the workers for the council don't bother to clean up anything that has fallen out of the bins when lifted into truck. Have also noticed lots of broken glass around the time of collection. We never had this problem when the other contractors were doing the job. We are paying more, for a less than standard job by the council.
