Ridiculous to see them trying to do their job on busy roads must be frustrating for them as well as the car drivers
When would you suggest they do it though
I’d say there’s probably not that many of them to do a 3rd of a million people weekly. Probably up all hours.
Some countries have overnight collections. If we did that, wages would need to rise to reflect the unsociable hours worked and people would baulk at the idea of council tax rising to pay for it.
When I was a kid it used to be done early in the morning- sort of 5 or 6 AM
So yeah , that time... or in the evening, must take them twice as long wh n they are trying to work their way through traffic.
Been caught behind them going through Llanidhen, Crwys Rd and the worst has to be Beresford Rd when there’s no way past.
One lad almost got run over by Heath High level Station yesterday by a car trying to squeeze padt
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.
Your last sentence could sit well in this thread...

Is this like “why did the chicken cross the road” question ????
Is there an answer ??????
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
A little thought, without them there’d have been no magic hat for Peter Thorne.
