LAST year, a letter was printed in the Warrington Guardian about the bin collection at my father-in-law’s property.

He had not put his blue bin on the front, even though the council had an agreement to come up his path and collect it because he was 96 and housebound.

They began to once again come up the path and collect his bin.

Unfortunately, he passed away this week and the family have been cleaning out his bungalow, making sure anything put into the bins was put into the correct one.

This morning, we arrived to finish sorting out the final bits from his bungalow to find his blue bin had not been emptied, and had a sticker on top indicating something incorrect had been placed in the blue bin.

The binman had opened the bin, taken out a paper medical bag that contained unused gloves still in the seal wrappers, put them at the side on the bin and still not emptied the bin.

The bin is situated next to the ramp to the front door clearly indicating that the person who lived at the property clearly had difficulty leaving and entering the property.

The moral of the story is the vigilante binman who spotted the accidentally misplaced item in the bin never spotted the disabled ramp it was next to.
