Why give student houses wheelie bins?
WHO IN their right minds at Plymouth City Council allocates wheelie bins to properties occupied by students?
Do they expect these people will put their bins out on the right day and take them off the pavement when they have been emptied?
If so they are living in cloud cuckoo land. One house in particular was so bad at leaving bins on the pavement the enforcement officer arranged to have the bins taken away. Now in their wisdom, the council has delivered four bins to this property which have been left on the pavement for the past three weeks and will stay on the pavement forever. When will the council learn that students are a law to themselves, but the taxpayer has to do what they are told.

“I'm not a student and I sometimes leave my bins out for a few days by mistake after they've been emptied.. That's because I work full time and am usually exhausted at the end of a long day, so am not thinking about bins. Just happy to see my mrs and daughter... SORRY SOCIETY!
However, those of us who do have time to monitor the bin situation in the street. Maybe you should volunteer a few seconds to return the bins to their relevant properties? That way, us full time workers (or people who don't always have trash on their minds) always have our bins in the right place, the minority of students may eventually get the message, and you won't have anything to write in to the Herald about. Everyone wins!”

“Children don't pay council tax either, Betty, so can we look forward to seeing you blocking the little freeloaders' way into the schools you're paying for, pulling their rubbish out of their parents' bins and forcing them to keep it all in their bedrooms until they reach adulthood?”

“Do the students or their landlords pay any council tax......NO, so why should PCC have to give them anything, they should be made to take their rubbish to the tip themselves.”

“one of my neighbors does the same with their bins, both of them living there are working and definitely not students......by your logic does that mean all non students should have there bins taken away? because this one house of non students leaves there bins out!
what absolute tosh, sounds to me like someone hates students and wanted an excuse to let tip on them, as see through as glass amusingly.”

“So what's your solution, Mr Hodgson? No bins at all?”

“Most students use wheely bins perfectly well. There are plenty of non-students who also leave their bins out all week and seem to stuff the wrong bins with the wrong rubbish. Your anti-student prejudice is misplaced.”
