Middlesbrough residents. Bins, get them ordered ASAP.

If you have to reprint the leaflet I suggest you get the apostrophe on the front page in the right place when you do.
 
What are the people like me and my elderly parents supposed to do when we cant afford to pay for this scheme??
How anyone can vote this in is beyond me.... The rich get richer and feck the poor!!!

Shockingly bad isn't it. They just don't seem to give a toss.

Let's hope they are not buying the new bins, which it is highly dubious we actually need, from Germany like the old bins were.

Compost? Split cost with neighbour? Bag it and go to haverton hill?

Quicker you order, quicker you will be on the list. This is a Herculean operation, things may not go smoothly for everyone, quicker your in the register easier it will be for us as a council and yourself as a resident so you know when the new bins are arriving and your old ones are taken away.

The streets are going to be full of bins that people haven't the room for.

I hope Stockton sticks with recycling bags and crates.
 
It must be a tiny % of the local population that have a garden large enough to require regular green waste collection, but without the means to pay £3.50 a month or access to a car

Looking at our street, which is a small one, we have a number of elderly people with large gardens, no car and fairly steep access to the house. I'm not sure of their financial situations but it's not a wealthy area.

I'm elderly too and I know how hard it is to manoeuvre a bin compared to the crate and sack we currently use for recycling in Stockton.
 
Yes I did prefer the green sacks to the big bin myself too 👍🏻

I still use them round the garden then dump them In the green bin which stays on the drive

I don't believe the bins are "chipped" as stated. How are council going to police this ? I wouldn't trust them to run a bath.

It seems like for the first year it will be a case of if you have a brown bin you have paid. There will be a sticker on the bin in subsequent years. I’m not sure whether these are NFC or QR types to link them to the specific house or just a simple label. I’m sure we’ll see a number of brown bin thefts on the estates anyway.

Yes I can foresee it causing more problems than it solves. Binnapping and brown bin misappropriation spring to mind.
