I have stopped recycling because my green box was left as often as it was taken. I had a assisted collection as a disabled person but although I left the box where it could be clearly seen, I was fed up of having to ring Tavistock Town Council asking why it hadn't been collected. I was reassured it would be collected the next day but no. It was still there the next day and the next and the next.

Its West Devon Borough Council you need to call. The Recycling Kings and lets build everywhere Kings. Call it affordable housing, social housing and make money for the Social landlords and Builders with Public Money. Even the Offices look like a giant recycling box with windows.

WDBC and refuse/recycling? One word springs to mind...rubbish! The woman who deal with your complaint are ignorant and cold, and haven't a clue what the rubbish men are really doing! They seem to think it is perfectly fine if you can't get your bins out by 7.30am and miss the refuse collectors because they manage to do it! Hmmm...yes, more like their husbands/relatives do it and they certainly wouldn't if they did shift work. It's okay, hopefully James Herbert's Rats will arrive soon and kill us all!
