00:00 So the biggest challenges that bin men face on their daily work is often contamination of the recycling bins.
00:07 They come across lots of nasty things like nappies and food waste and other items in their recycling bins.
00:14 They also have difficulty with parked vehicles that stop not only the bin crews getting through to empty the bins, but also emergency services.
00:23 And of course it always helps if people put the right bins out on the right days by 7am so that they can collect them.
00:32 We do ask that residents have their bins out by 7am in the morning just in case the route changes so that when the crews arrive they can empty the bins.
