And in case people wonder, no the smell of rubbish doesn't go home with you, it's all a myth.

They normally shove them aside out of the way of the truck in a random direction and **** everyone else. Oh and my collection times were between 1am and 3am for about 2 years until the neighbours complained. Both bins into the back of the one truck at same time until they started coming around after 7am with which they now use two separate trucks with one for recycling only.

Both waste and recycling into the one truck? Waste and compost into the one truck is known to happen, the thing there is the compactor is divided inside to facilitate it and avoid contamination, well that's the plan, but the amount of contaminated recycling is worse than you'd think, also the remains of animals being disposed of in compost bins has been heard of.

Yeah I know there can be a divider but the same company had been fined for it before and tbh at those hours it seemed dodgy enough. As soon as the trucks were pulled from the dodgy hours, they miraculously popped a second truck solely for recycling on the same route. Maybe I'm just a cynical bastard. The same truck collects the refuse at 9am that did both bins at 2am previous.
