Kirklees Council Bulky Collection

My old sofa and mattress were collected promptly as booked by the team, their services was very affordable. Thank you.

Bins in Crosland moor haven't been emptied for 2 weeks. And are frequently missed. This has led to an increase in rats which are seen daily running in and out of the bins. WHY ARE WE PAYING COUNCIL TAX ?

The bulky waste crew have been absolutely brilliant and have disposed of furniture on 5 separate collections.. the lads are wonderful and it’s a excellent service and value for money. I would highly recommend.X

Having now lived in Kirklees I can honestly say it has one of the worst waste collection services that I have ever come across.The recycling is just awful. One general bin per household unless you have six people. We have three under three and had to fight to get a second general waste bin ‘temporarily’. And a generic recycling bin - do not get me wrong, you can have extra of those…. Only, they do not recycle glass, certain plastics, common things like cardboard juice cartons. But they do handily provide you with a leaflet explaining all the things they don’t recycle. It’s quicker to list what they will actually take.Then there is garden waste. Can have a recycling bin. For a premium. That you have to apply for. So, all those houses not recycling garden waste or food waste because to do so is a premium service you have to pay them for.And my favourite is the local recycling centres. They are hilarious, they take nothing. Where we lived previously, you could recycle anything. Household appliances, rubble (within reason), mattresses, garden waste. You could have extra bins - they had a bin for everything. It was a real shock to the system moving here to such a poor service.I began to understand why beauty spots in the area have such an issue with fly tipping, it’s just a shame the council cannot make that connection.And again today is bin day and the road is once again littered with rubbish because the two young lads who have emptied the bins have dropped it onto the road, looked at it, discussed it, and walked away leaving the road a disgusting mess.This review will make no difference to an already broken system, and having fought the council for an extra bin I know firsthand how they just don’t care to offer a better service inline with other councils.So much for encouraging people to recycle.

I was put on the list to have my bin collected may 2022. To date my green bin has never been collected on bin day. I have to phone and report. They always promise to send the wagon again they don't. I have contacted my MP but that has not improved matters. I am at a complete loss how to resolve this. I am 79. Had 2 knee replacements and very arthritic.

We have suffered all year with missed collections. Now when contacting Kirklees Council to find out why, they tell me that it’s due to parked cars, this is why the bin truck is unable to reach our address. Under normal circumstance this would have been enough but, when a bin waggon rolls up the road to collect business waste regular, you have to question this. Today I thought we were going to have the mountain of rubbish that has built up from lack of collections, but no, they only went to the private paying business. Can you imagine breathing that sigh of relief only to see the bin truck look at the rubbish on the way past it. I will be asking Kirklees Council for my fuel or a discount on the Council Tax bill as I am having to make trips to the local tip to try and avoid rubbish bean on the floor, witch is making it far too easy for the RATS. This is not fun and yet this is what we pay for. I wonder how long it would take Kirklees Council to start with the threaten letters should I not pay my council tax bill. If this was happening at the address of one of the council members I bet it would have been sorted out months ago.Kirklees Council, pull your socks up. This is not acceptable.

We should withhold council tax until they sort it as we're not getting what we pay an extortionate amount for. They're just taking us for a ride. It really is rubbish"! Barely ever collect what they're supposed to

Changed bin collection routine.Empty bins on opposite side of the road.Leave half a street with overflowing bins unemptied for more than 2 weeks.When you ring up to complain you get Dizzy Lizzy answering the phone.She says that she will get the bin crew to return.Still waiting!!!We'll be getting rats at this rate.Instead of spending millions on absurd grandiose schemes,and filling their own pockets,perhaps they should do what councils do in Spain.Keep the place clean,empty the bins, and do it efficiently.Totally useless, and a disgrace.
