The Cool Down

@agreencow The rubbish trucks cracked the sides of our 240L recycling wheelie. Council have replaced it but only with a 120L wheelie.

Said we are "welcome to order another recycling 120L if we need greater capacity to recycle" but we'll have to pay double the charge for having two wheelies instead of the one THEY CRACKED APART.

WTF??? They should be encouraging us to recycle. NOT penalising us bc they broke our bin.
