    They're finishing up down here in two weeks. I presume we are just lucky it didn't happen earlier on in the year and we got some moneys worth

    They have gone in to examiner ship, so they will continue to trade for at least one hundred days, there can be no repossessions or other movements by creditors as they are under the protection of the courts.

    I wouldn't bank on that if I were you. Firstly be sure of what is happening, and of course, pay for the service you are provided, but at the first inkling, I would be cancelling direct debits

    They agreed a monthly payment so they cant take more then agreed.. so if they go bust, I will at worst lose a months payments .

    Wastepal text you the night before too

    I changed from mr binman a good while back, I find the wastepal lads extremely tidy....the bins are always put back in the drive exactly where I leave it.... most times I have to check to make sure its emptied because they put it back exactly where it was

    if your changing get a friend that uses wastpal to "refer" you... you get e25 credited to both your accounts and if you sign up online you get another e5

    basically your getting a free month collections

    Just something to keep in mind if anything happens mr binman

    I find wastepal good too, Moved to them from Mr binman, and yep I find we have to check if they have been taken too because they are very tidy.

    They didn't collect the bin one day last month, we didn't mind because it wasn't even full but they didn't charge us the full amount this month (we didn't even ring them,they just credited us!) But other than that occasion they are like clockwork.

    I'm only paid up to the end of last month. Lucky I only pay it month by month because, if they do go to the wall, you'll have a very hard time getting a penny out of them as a customer.

    I'm assuming they'll keep operating anyway in the meantime.

    There will be a riot down my way - most of the street seem to be with Mr Binman. What's the story? They don't seem to lack customers (see first sentence)
