      The problem is… IMO anyway… that if these things aren’t filmed and put onto social media, then literally nothing happens about it. It only seems to be the “name-and-shame” that forces them into taking any action

      If they do the job correctly there would be no need to film them.
      I’ve never felt the need to film my local refuse collectors(just being pc 😁) as they do a good job.

      They need to stop doing dodgy stuff then. I’ve seen them more than once taking a bag of general waste and popping it into the recycling one to save them wheeling the waste bin 10m to the lorry.

      So the headline has very much inferred that the councilman has asked that the binmen aren’t recorded because it’s showing the current poor state of working. That’s not true, the councilman phrases that it makes the binmen feel uncomfortable and rushed – which is a valid statement, I personally wouldn’t like to be recorded doing my job either.

      Just wanted to make that clear as I hate provactive headlining where they misquote to draw views / clicks, irregardless of the true intent of the councilmans plea.

      Now onto my personal opinion, the general public should absolutely be recording these, this particular borough is notorious for poor public hygiene management and it needs to be called out. What I suspect is actually happening here is not so much poorly trained staff etc but poor / underfunded management. The council themselves have put the mixed waste policies in place to reduce missed collections.

      It’s a public street and you have no reasonable right to privacy. Unless I’ve been transported to North Korea, why shouldn’t they be filmed if they’re doing something shady like throwing batteries into hedges.

      I live a bit off the beaten track so when it comes to the council collecting my rubbish they turn up in a transit and put the recycling and black bags all mixed in the back of the van. There’s literally no point in me separating it all. They can’t get the recycling van to my house or a bin lorry but still insist I split the waste or they won’t pick it up
      Laughable really.

      Nothing against the bin men. I have everything against recycling when nothing actually gets recycled.

      They are being filmed because they are doing a bad job. Not the other way round.

      If they’re doing a poor job they should be filmed. We had problems with binmen ignoring certain bins that were apparently too heavy to move or garden waste bins that weren’t emptied, put back properly, just left on their side in the middle of the road.

      Seriously people are surprised that at the end everything lands in the same bin?

      These guys are doing a hard, shit job, probably with completely unrealistic targets, maybe even told to do the job in a shit way, or doing it this way is the only way to get the round done on time to get home. I have no doubt they’re under pressure.

      Meanwhile some office working bellend, with his Ring doorbell he bought to not miss his daily delivery of Chinese sweatshop tat, feels the need to post footage on social media for validation, as if he has any idea what it’s like to do a job like that, potentially costing people their jobs.

      Shit goes in the bin, bins go outside, it gets collected. I cannot comprehend being such a curtain twitching jobsworth I’m examining how the binmen do their job, wanking myself off over the evidence I caught on my ring doorbell. Weird.

      Love how the general response seems to be: ‘Screw you. Do your job properly.’
