24/02/11…….Was your garden waste bin emptied in Thame this week?

Dear Editor, I live in Skippon Way in Thame and mine and my neighbour?s garden rubbish bins were not emptied on Monday (21/02). I called Verdant on Monday, early afternoon, to report this and they assured me there would be a collection that day.

They have still not been emptied, so I phoned Verdant this morning to let them know and they told me that the lorry came around but my bin was not out! I told them that my bin WAS out and had been out since the Sunday night.

I have just spoken to Linda at South Oxfordshire District Council, and after looking at the reports, she said that the lorry came around at about 12 noon on Monday, but said that the report showed that my bin and my neighbours bin were not out. She then said that there was no log of my call on Monday. She then said that the bins would not be emptied now until the next recycling collection date!

I would appreciate if anyone else in Thame whose garden waste bin was not emptied on Monday, February 21, to let me know through you.

Many thanks,
Clare Dawson
