I HAVE chosen not to pay the green bin fee and have therefore not recently deposited any garden waste inside the bin. I have continued depositing small amounts of food waste into the green bin. Nothing else.

Imagine my exasperation then, when following the latest One Trafford refuse collection, I found a large glossy label attached to my green bin. This is what the label says: "We collected your garden waste today but noticed you have not signed up to the new service. If you want your garden waste collections to continue, you must sign up to the paid-for service."

Has One Trafford completely lost the plot? All their staff needs to do is to look inside my green bin to witness that no garden waste has been put inside.

Or perhaps One Trafford is expecting me to scrub out the garden waste residue that has remained inside the green bin now it is no longer used for that purpose?

Get real One Trafford.

Stop bullying your customers into paying for green bin usage - and stop wasting our money by printing labels to adhere needlessly to green bins.
