What Rubbish! Bin Man Removes Sacks From Waste Bin And Dumps Them On The Street

A jobsworth bin man has been filmed removing rubbish bags from a woman’s bin and dumping it on the street.

Shocked mum Debbie Campbell couldn’t believe her eyes when she saw CCTV footage of the collector removing two bags from the top of her bin and leaving them by the side of her gate.

He then emptied the rest of the waste from her bin into the truck - leaving the two other bags on the pavement.

Miss Campbell had left the bags on top of the bin as she was unable to close the lid, having missed a collection two weeks before.

But the bin man REFUSED to take the two bags that were on top of the bin because of “health and safety reasons”.

Rushing out of her house to confront the bin man, Miss Campbell said: “I went out to ask him what he was playing at and he just told me that you’re not allowed to leave your bins with the lids up up for health and safety reasons, which I didn’t know.

"I said, ‘can you at least let me throw them in?’ but he said the van was full.

"I accept that it was my fault that I missed the collection, but it’s just getting to the point where you think, what’s the world coming to?”

The video of the collection outside Miss Campbell’s home in Leeds, West Yorkshire, was uploaded to Facebook and it has now been viewed nearly 100,000 times.

Now bosses at Leeds City Council who have seen the footage have vowed to ask some “serious questions” about the issue.

Councillor Mark Dobson, executive board member for environmental protection, said: "I have looked at the footage and the bags were clearly in the bin, they were not on the floor.

"I am of the opinion that the bin should have been removed.

“I will certainly not be turning a blind eye to this and I will be asking why this has happened.”
