Сборщик мусора объяснил жителям Великобритании, почему их контейнеры остаются наполовину полными

Following a complaint from a UK resident that her bin was only 'half-emptied', a refuse collector has explained what causes this to occur and defended his profession Social News Reporter A refuse collector has issued advice to all UK residents over a common mistake that often results in bins being half-emptied. Self-proclaimed 'Binfluencer', Ashley hit out at viewers who blame those in his profession for the problem, before pointing out where many people are going wrong. ‌ His advice came in response to a query from one of his TikTok followers who slammed: "They better take my cardboard on top of my bin as they only half-emptied it last time! Don't you check?" Ashley declared in reply: "Stop blaming us straight away - it could be your fault." ‌ Ashley then proceeded to explain in a video why cardboard can cause problems with bin collections. ‌ He explained: "The problem is if you've got cardboard and stuff in there, if it's too compacted down and you've squeezed it all in the bottom to make sure it all fits in the bin, [it's an issue]. The bin lift [on the lorry] will bang and bang it and if it doesn't come out, we'll leave it." Acknowledging that whilst that might upset residents, he advised: "We're not meant to be reaching inside the bin to dislodge anything so the rest can drop out." ‌ Ashley reiterated: "So if everything is stuck in the bottom because it is too compacted down, then yes it is your fault for compacting it. We don't push the bin down. "We just bang it and if the rubbish doesn't come out after three or four goes, it gets left and that's probably the reason why your bin didn't get emptied last time. It's not the binmen's fault, look at yourself!" Backing Ashley up, one TikTok user pointed out another reason why binmen shouldn't reach into bins to dislodge waste. ‌ "Actually, health and safety comes into play here if the binman reaches in and something is in there which shouldn’t be in there like needles or glass then if they get injured then it’s on the binman," they noted. A second binman fumed: "People just like to moan these days pal. I'm a binman myself, the public need to realise, we don't make the rules but we have to follow them unfortunately." A third added to Ashley's advice explaining how a fellow refuse collector fell foul of trying to help. They said: "One lad at our place thought he'd be kind and reached in to dislodge someone’s [rubbish] and got stabbed by a needle. Just not worth the risk for close to minimum wage."

"Even though they completely missed it the time before. I'm on POS by the way. I'm often getting missed. I left a polite note. They took the lot. "And they never bang it 3 or 4 times. Maybe my bin men haven't got time to check or lift it on again to bang it a few more times."
