Guildford Borough Council Rubbish Wheelie Bin Fiasco

This is a fairly "off topic" post for this blog. Usually this blog contain funny articles about the antics of imbeciles, we now turn to something a little more domestic and simply annoying.
Guildford Borough Council have followed a lot of penny-pinching councils in the UK and switched from a 1 week to a two week (bi-weekly) collection of rubbish. This in itself is an outrageous draconian measure, done without negotiation with their wage paying community in order to cut costs. This in the face of phenomenal tax rates and rises. All done under the thin veil of environmentalism.
OK. Annoying, but lets move on. The main concern for someone being forced to store 2 weeks for rubbish is the health impact on your home & community. All that rubbish sitting in containers slowly fermenting, stinking, attracting insects and other vermin. At least GBC have provided some good wheelie bins? Right?
WRONG. The cheap plastic bins don't even close properly. The lids are warped and stick up in the air, every single one. When the weather warms up, the problems will really start. The insect population will boom. Bins will become a seething mass of maggots because of the simple fact that Guildford Borough Council couldn't even get bins made properly.
Note the statement THEY wrote on their OWN BINS!
So, what does this mean? That you won't collect your own bin if they appear to be overloaded with their ill-fitting lids sticking up in the air. Will we be forced to hold on to our giant sized plastic bucket of maggots for another 2 weeks?
Guildford Borough Council - yet again - failing to organise a piss-up in a brewery.
Well done to our idiots of the week.
Important:
If you have been impacted by Guildford Borough Council's idiotic failing to provide wheelie bins, then you need to ask for a new one.
