The torment for council tax payers was stepped up today by Uttlesford District Council in Essex. They have decreed that Binmen shall no longer collect from the residents of six cul-de-sacs as it takes too long for the trucks to reverse into them.
Raymond Kirk, 66, of Dunmow, said, *It's ridiculous. The council makes these announcements and there's nothing you can do". Mr Kirk, whose wife is blind, added, *If I was taken ill it would be a nightmare. Jill wouldn't be able to drag the bin out on her own".
Penny Saunders lives at the entrance to the cul-de-sac and has a mass of wheelie bins outside her house on collection day. She said. *the council tells people to take them back immediately but that isn't always feasible".
BinScents Ltd can't physically get into Dunmow to rescue the residents but our Wheelie Bin Freshener products could at least help minimise odours outside poor Mrs Saunders house whilst the natural tea tree oil acts as an antiseptic in order to combat germs and insects.

Citizens of Huddersfield Take On Binmen!
After missing their fortnightly rubbish collection due to industrial action by their binmen, the families of Birk Road in Huddersfield were delighted to see the council lorry arrive after a month.
But their relief quickly turned to anger when the binmen announced that, while they would empty the Wheeie Bins, they would not collect the loose bags which had piled up.
Two weeks later, they were still refusing to take away all the rubbish and at this point the residents began the Siege of Birk Road.
One man parked his car across the entrance to the quiet cul-de-sac, preventing the bin lorry from getting back out. Meanwhile others formed a human chain around the truck while children began sit down action in front of it.
2 hours later, the binmen backed down and collected all of the rubbish.
The residents' bins had been emptied on July 2 as normal but, due to industrial action a fortnight later, the next visit was not until July 30. By mid-August the residents had decided "enough was enough".
BinScents couldn't have averted the industrial action. Nor prevented the episodes which followed. Our Wheelie Bin Fresheners could, however, have at least made for a more pleasant environment for a sit-around siege and helped reduced the risk of anyone picking up germs from around the bins Our fresheners not only contain real fruit fragrances to help mask odours but also tea tree oil - a natural antiseptic.

Residents Forced To Share Wheely Bins
Lewisham council has asked residents to share their wheelie bin with their neighbour due to a European shortage.
A fire at a major wheely bin production plant in France combined with increased demand for bins across has led to a shortage in Lewisham. The council is now asking residents to share their bins with neighbours until new ones can be delivered.
Councillor Susan Wise said: "Unfortunately, the shortage of bins is affecting the whole of the UK, and not just Lewisham.
"If your neighbour has a bin, please ask them if they would share it until yours is delivered."
The shortage is affecting both domestic, black wheelie bins as well as green recycling ones.
Lewisham council doesn't expect to get a delivery until November.
Green Party councillor Darren Johnson responded to the news and said: "Lewisham seem to have got themselves into a real mess.
"I would like to know why the council has entered such an inflexible contract that they can't go elsewhere for supplies. "
BinScents Ltd don't supply wheelie bins, but our Wheelie Bin Fresheners will ensure that the fine people of Lewisham are not embarrassed by unpleasant pongs when their neighbour opens their wheelie bin to pop in the rubbish! The unique blend of tea tree oil and real fruit extract helps to mask odours while combating germs and bacteria such as E-coli.

£110 FINE IF YOU OVERFILL A BIN!
Overfill your wheely bin and you face an even bigger fine than that given to shoplifters and drunks. Environment Secretary Hilary Benn has backed such fines for such arch criminals who leave their bins out too early, or blatantly leave an extra bag of rubbish beside their bin or (perish the thought) OVERFILL the bin!
The fine is £30 higher than that given to shoplifters and drunks.
The confirmation that Labour has been putting pressure on local authorities and their Bin Police comes after three years of rapid increases in the number of fines handed out to residents for "littering"
BinScents can't help to make your rubbish disappear but, with our unique blend of natural fruit extract and tea tree oil, we can at least help to make your bin less likely to harbour germs and insects.
Purchase a BinScents freshener today, available in Tesco or from our E Bay shop.
