    There was a problem as Oxigen lost the Green bin contract and Greyhound have it now, so Oxigen were naughty and didnt do a collection in some areas. They have however agreed to do it this week, and will collect any excess that wont fit in the bin (though I wouldnt believe that somehow!)

    The council dont collect the green bins.

    Des, Oxigen haven't collected green bins for the last six weeks now. Despite what the b*stards said they'd do. I'm stuck waiting for Greyhound to take stuff this week.

    Looks like they didnt keep their word alright.
    Mind you, mine was picked last week, by Greyhound I think (they came about 6:30 am!)

    Don't know who picked up mine last week, but I do know that I missed them because I wasn't here on Tuesday night to put it out, and probably won't be here next week either. I won't be able to move the feckin' thing by the time the next collection after that comes round. :rolleyes:

    Mine has been fine with the transition to Greyhound (Roselawn area). They collected it yesterday at around 7pm and haven't missed any of the collections as far as I know.

    Mine was due to be picked up on the 14th - that's what it said on the calendar sent out by Oxigen, the same one the council said Greyhound would stick to!

    Anyway, Greyhound came around on the night about 9 o clock! :eek:

    Good thing I was in. You should have seen people running out to put out their bins. :P
