Why do the bin lorries work during rush hours on main roads ?

[Harry Monk]

Pretty sure the contracts (in Cardiff)were changed a few years ago so they can now be collected any time between 6am and 10pm.
Not really sure what the answer is to the Ops dilemma. If they avoided main roads at peak times then the side roads would be congested if they're collecting from there.
I know what the answer is - patience.

Or change their start time at work when there's a bin collection day?

Whenever I'm driving and see a bin lorry navigating their way through traffic I always give way regardless whose right of way it is - they have a job to do after all.

It's worth it just to see their smiley faces as they give me a hearty thumbs-up thank-you.


Do they f*ck !!

From a young age my kids were fascinated by the bin men, and if they heard the lorry they would rush to the window so they could wave, and they always waved back.


I do t think I've spent more than a cumulative minute in the last year stuck behind a bin lorry, so for me it's a small price to pay
