| Salford has efficient binmen and clean, tidy town centres, roads and parks, says an independent watchdog. |
|
| Our binmen have worked efficiently and cleanly over the years but the last few weeks have been a shambles as the new system gets under way. |
|
| You could try to enforce a limit on the amount the binmen collect, but would leaving the overspill at the side of the road be a good thing? |
|
| Not the kind you put rubbish in and the binmen take two weeks to empty. |
|
| In protest binmen are now only working their normal terms and conditions, starting at 7am, taking their full lunchbreak and finishing work at 3.30 pm. |
|
| Members of the GMB and Unison also want more protection from Bradford Council for binmen and street cleaners who are suffering attacks as they work. |
|
| The city's 120 binmen withdrew their goodwill in May, which included not working two bank holidays, in protest at council plans to privatise the service. |
|
| One of the binmen sacked after being reported for standing on the back of a dustcart, said he was made a scapegoat by the council and claims the practice is still going on. |
|
| The order covers the inside of council buildings, council-owned vehicles, outdoor maintenance staff and contract staff, including binmen and highway maintenance workers. |
|
| The union Unison claim forcing binmen to operate only two to a dustcart is unsafe. |
|
| But pen-pushers in local authorities, teachers in failing schools and binmen on bonuses live an existence feather-bedded by the state. |
|
| Yesterday, the ironing board was left outside to wait for the binmen to cart it away. |
|
| Binmen have been offered triple time to work on May Day Bank holiday as Cardiff council attempts to avoid a repeat of the Easter rubbish crisis. |
