ColinJ said:There is a yellow council grit bin round the corner from me for residents to use to get grit for our cobbled back streets which otherwise don't get done. I was going to take a bucket and spade round there and do my bit. Only trouble is, I discovered yesterday evening that there's nothing in the bin but rubbish!![]()
The one I used round the corner tonight is getting a bit on the low side. I've seen it all down the years from people stealing industrial levels of grit out of them, to people asking for them to be moved down the road because they couldn't be arsed to walk that far through to the council not topping them up and people fly tipping in them. Ultimately you can't win though, people, especially those working in shops use far too much and just add solid grit outside of their shop and that's where a lot of the waste goes.
See what the council says eh? Not good for this early in the winter for it to be crammed full of rubbish and empty of grit.
