Bin chaos across Trafford has stretched into its second week as the council held talks with its supplier in private in a bid to resolve the issues.

Residents across the borough are furious that contractors Amey, part of the OneTrafford partnership with Trafford Council in charge of bin services, have again missed large numbers of homes during their weekly collection rounds.

Amey changed its timetable for bin collections earlier this month, sparking the missed services, and numerous people have taken to social media to complain as some haven’t had their bins emptied in two weeks.

One Twitter user, Francesca_ said: “Two weeks of bins not being taken, countless complaints and 20 minutes on hold. Still no resolution. Absolutely shocking from Trafford Council.”

Twitter user Great Furbain said that their whole road had been missed in Stretford, while Washway Road Action Group said they even tried to report their missed bin collections through the Government’s reporting website, but to no avail.

They tweeted: “Government website won’t link to Trafford Council. No wonder people can’t report bins not being emptied. Joke.”

Steven Hodges, who lives in Timperley, also tweeted: “Trafford Council, Amey and OneTrafford – what’s going on with the green bin collections? Or rather the lack of them?

“I thought the new schedule was supposed to help the situation. Bins on Newstead Terrace not emptied for two weeks now!”

Conservative Councillor Nathan Evans said “Under Trafford Labour, residents are paying more for their Council Tax and getting worse services which everyone can see. I would urge the Labour administration to get a grip on this mismanagement of the bin contract.”

Earlier this week, the council’s cabinet met and discussed the details of its contract with Amey through the OneTrafford partnership. The public was excluded from it for legal reasons.

The council would not be drawn on the exact details of the discussion with Amey.

It confirmed talks were ongoing but no decision had yet been made, with three options currently on the table.

The council could:

Bring services back in-house or find an alternative way of providing the service, with a view to ending the contract with Amey.

Review and reshape the contract and partnership between Amey and the council.

Continue the Amey contract, but look for “significant improvements to the

delivery of existing services”.

A spokesperson for Trafford Council said: “The report to the [cabinet] was discussed in private as it contained confidential information.

“No decisions have been made and discussions between the council and Amey are ongoing, alongside further assessment of the options agreed by the [cabinet] in July.”

Coun Stephen Adshead, Labour cabinet member for the environment and on behalf of the OneTrafford Partnership, said: “While most bins are collected on the first attempt, we understand the new service has been frustrating for those who have had a missed collection.

“60pc of reported missed collections from the last two weeks have now been actioned, and crews are scheduled to return for the remainder.

“We are continuing to review the service over the coming weeks to resolve other identified issues and I would like to thank residents for bearing with us as crews familiarise themselves with the rounds to embed the new service.”

The cabinet member added that new technologies are being tested out while the new service is rolled out and issues with these will be “teased out” while the contractor embeds its new service.
