The BIN crisis spreads to London! Trash enjoys food waste on the streets of borough, sanitary towels and diapers for seven weeks, council acknowledges “titting problems”, new £21.5m garbage contract

The streets of the town of London spilled out of garbage after not collecting bins for up to seven weeks.

Food waste, sanitary towels and diapers have been scattered on Croydon Road as the raised residents flooded local politicians.

The disruption is related to a new eight-year, eight-year cost-effective contract between the Council and Velia Waste Management, which began early last month.

The French company, which holds a previous contract, is the only bidder for a new deal with the Conservative-led Council, but the issue is plagued by problems.

Those who pay for garden waste collection or large amounts of household waste have been affected. Local Democracy Reporting Services.

A woman who lives above a shop in Shirley, Croydon said her neighbor’s trash can “spilled” in seven weeks.

She added: “The foxes got them and there was only food waste on the whole road, sanitary towels and diapers, and we eventually had to clear them.”

Residents sent out reports of the bin but claimed to have done nothing, saying: “They kept saying we knew about the problem and we were going to sort it out. We were just told the same thing and it will be done this weekend, but nothing happened.

The waste was eventually removed, but then it was discovered that 14 wheel bins blocked her driveway, which was more than just the number of bins in the apartments in the block.

Labor’s Croydon mayoral candidate Rowenna Davis said the problem caused an increase in health and environmental issues such as rats, go bugs and “scent of decayed odors”.

“The streets have not changed, the company has not changed, but the service has been reduced, so this must be incredibly managed,” she added.

A Croydon Council spokesman said: “We know some residents have experienced missed collections…we regret any inconvenience caused.

“We have experienced some teeth grinding issues that we are working on as part of the launch of a new service.

“It remains a priority for us and our waste contractor Violia, ensuring that our residents’ bins are cleared over time and improve services as part of the new contract.”

The council added that 99.5% of the collection last month was completed on time and they hope that the service will be normalized this month.

A spokesman for Willia said: “Wilia is honored to work with the Croydon Council to provide basic recycling and waste collection and street cleaning services.”

The company said it completed over 1.25 million collections last month for 99.5% of its time, and cleared an average of 190 fly-tips per day.

It added that 180 tons of fly waste were removed last month under a night service launched under a new contract.

“As part of the new contract, we have rearranged all of the Kerbside collections for efficiency,” the spokesperson said.

“We continue to report on the collection and suspension tips through the Croydon Commission’s website and patience during this adjustment to support residents.”

Last October, the council announced a new contract, which it said would include recycling and waste collection, street cleaning and winter maintenance services.

The contract also saw a “dedicated nighttime collection service” for the apartment above the store, and the council said Velia would help it “prepare for upcoming legislation such as simpler recycling.”

Local authorities added that investment in new technologies will “purpose to improve service energy efficiency while minimizing carbon emissions and reducing costs”.

This is because rotten garbage is still piled up and overflowing on the sidewalks in Birmingham, although the Council claims collections are back to normal.

The Unite union’s garbage workers have been attracting attention since March since Birmingham City Council proposed changes to its role and layoffs.

Unless the requirements are met, striking employees vow to take industrial action indefinitely, which some believe may continue until Christmas.

Birmingham City Council said it has removed 100% of large amounts of waste in hotspots, and 85% of waste in other parts of the city.

But grim images taken Monday at Bordesley Green showed trash bins spilling, garbage bags and rotten food scattered on residential streets.
