Immigrants in the bin!

Police were called to Lister Road council depot in Dudley when workers discovered a pair of thirsty Afghan stowaways, living in two bins which were part of a wheely bin delivery from France.
An unamed council employee sais *I couldn't believe my eyes. We opened the doors and there they were, among hundreds of those green wheelie bins".
The stoways are being held by the immigration services but officials refused to say where they had been taken to.

£10,000 Bin Challenge!

Graham Hill, a rubbish collector will have a fabulous christmas if he can solve the puzzle he found on his bin emptying round.

In one bin, he found a bag containing £10,000 in £10 and £20 notes!

The snag is, that they have all been torn up into tiny pieces.

Graham handed the package into the police but six months later, no one has claimed the money and investigators cannot link the money to any crime.

The Bank of England have told Mr Hill that they will replace the money with new notes - if he can piece the notes together again.

Mr Hill must piece the notes together so that they have both copies of the serial number and also the bank signature.

Colleagues of Mr Hill are hoping that he gets to work quickly. One said, "I just hope he pieces enough of the notes back together to get a round of drinks in at the works christmas do. Christmas is only around the corner, so any bonus will be welcome".

BinScents can't help Mr Hill with his challenge to stick the notes back together. Nor can we help you find a bag of loot of your own. However, we can ensure that your bins don't pong or act as germ magnets while you rummage for your own treasure trove. Try BinScents Bin Fresheners now. Visit our website, www.binscents.co.uk

Where Does All The Recycling Go?

Town hall chiefs have admitted that millions of tons of carefully sorted rubbish may never actually be recycled!

Many councils which impose strict, compulsort recycling schemes have admitted that they have simply no idea where it all ends up. They simply pass it over to contactors who never have to reveal what happens to it.

Doretta Cocks. of the Campaign For Weekly Waste Collection said: This is a dreadful admission".

A number of councils have already been caught sending your carefully sorted rubbish put out for recycling to landfill sites.

Others sent waste to foreign countries such as Ghana, Guinea and Vietnam, where waste is supposed to be recycled but there are few checks done.

Latest figures suggest that waste recycling is now more than 34% and ministers have proudly announced that the UK is going to achieve EU targets.

However, this figure applies only to waste collected from homes and not what fate actually awaits it.

BinScents Ltd can't guarantee that your council will actually recycle your waste. However, we can assure you that our products will work around the clock to protect your bins from bugs and invisible germs such as e coli or salmonella.

Fortnightly Collections Lead To Fly Tipping

The foul crime of fly tipping has reached suburbia, official figures showed this week.
Illegal rubbish dumping of mainly household refuse is now found as much in leafy suburbs as in inner cities and run down estates.
The shift into the suburbs coincides with the introduction of fortnightly bin collections and strict wheelie bin legislation..
Six out of ten fly-tipping incidents involved household rubbish rather than industrial or business waste.
Evidence of such middle class fly tipping brought a new barrage of complaints against the compulsory recycling policies from the Opposition parties.
Local government spokesman, Eric Pickles, said, "Gordon Brown's new bin taxes look set to make it even worse, by giving perverse financial incentives to irresponsibly fly-tip".
Meantime, householders are not allowed to overfill bins so that heir lids are open, rubbish must not be put out in the wrong hours and no additional waste may be left out in bags beside the bins.
BinScents are powerless to stop the fly tipping, not to bring back weekly collections, but we can help in the fight against germs and foul odours with our uniquely designed wheelie bin fresheners.
A combination of natural fruit extract and tea tree oil mask unpleasant bin smells with a fresh, natural fragrance, whilst the tea tree oil deters insects and fights germs such as e-coli and salmonella.

My Wheelie's bin Stolen!

A spate of wheelie bin thefts caused residents to wonder if they should contact the police.But when the thieves were caught out, they turned out to be council officers, on a special assignment to snoop in back gardens.Their mission was to find out who was using unauthorised rubbish bins.If they found any households harbouring more than one bin for non-recycling, they took the offending bins away without telling the householder.Hazel Wilson, 67, of Blackburn challenged two men when she found them lurking in an alley near her home."One was carrying a ladder and putting it up against back yard walls one by one and the other man was taking notes", she said."They had a lorry parked nearby, I thought what if an old lady had been doing her washing up and this man peered over the fence. It would give you an awful shock".Bin Campaigner Doretta Cocks, founder of the Campaign for Weekly Waste Collection, said, "It's just not on and I would call 999 if it happened to me".Blackburn, with Darwen Council says action is needed because householders who put out too much waste cost council tax payers £17,000 per year.The move is the latest draconian collection measure.BinScents Wheelie Bin Fresheners won't deter council snoopers, but they will deter other unwanted pests, such as e coli and salmonella from your bins and mask unpleasant odours with their real fruit fragrance at the same time!

Wheelie- The Movie!

It had to happen I suppose.... Flyde and Wear Council have produced a DVD on how and where to put rubbish in bins.
The step by step guide shows a recycling officer rummaging through the kitchen bin of a householder to show her what items should be recycled in the council supplied bins and boxes.
Mathew Sinclair of the TaxPayer's Alliance said *These DVDs ... are sure to end up in the bin".A council spokesperson said, "Waste management is one of the biggest issue facing local government and this is an innovative way of assisting in facing that challenge.
