I still feel if people put in the bins what should go in them, it would make life easier.
Garden rubbish, should not go in the bins.
I live in Quesada but am only getting collections twice a week if lucky.
Went recórrala with dog today. Some of the bins are overflowing with dog bags, the smell is very bad!

I live in Quesada ( near Harry's bar) and our bins are an absolute disgrace. Some bins only get emptied every 3to4days. They are overflowing and rubbish is piled up around them. There will be plagues of rats soon and health hazzard. As someone put ...we provide the money but don't get the service. DISGUSTING

when I lived in the UK,my bin was emptied every 2 weeks, and my council tax was 5 times more than it is here, so every 3 to 4 days is good for the amount of basura tax we pay,

Not with 50 or 60 people using the same bin. In UK you only had your own bin to worry about. Here we can have 2 or 3 hundred properties using the same 3 or 4 bins to put their stuff in. And you don't get people throwing old food stuff away in UK as they have a separate bin for that.
And I know UK just had a freak, hot summer but here the temperatures are hotter for longer which is a health hazard.
And not wishing to labour the point but the UK councils spend around 0.9% of your council tax on rubbish collection.
As the average council tax in UK is now £1800 a year then that means you pay about £16 a year for your rubbish collection.

The situation has greatly improved where I live, we seem to be back to daily collections. It still appears to be very hit and miss elsewhere though.

I think the situation is not helped by in our area near Canales supermarket a few people are having building work done and they are blatently filling the bins with building rubble, causing the bins to crack. Also huge amounts of garden refuse.

As our Spanish friend said centre Rojales and predominantly Spanish bins are being emptied every night. Fact. I actually walked around central Rojales and Benijofar totally emptied. Even the little street bins. I hope it soon gets resolved otherwise yes vermin will be here very soon. Me needs a cat me thinks.
