I looked on the Refuse site to check the green bin men still took whole Christmas trees. It’s a good job l did, as the mean rotters ask you to cut your tree up and put it in the green bins!
I dragged the tree to the gate where my bins were all ready to go and l proceeded to cut my tree up to put in the bins!
It was dark and l hacked away at the tree whilst I used the light of the passing car’s headlights to aim the cutters. I didn’t care if l looked like a nutter, l just wanted the tree gone!
Then, I couldn’t get the bin lid to shut on the thickest length of trunk so l hope they will still take it.
Please don’t them be jobsworth on this occasion!!
