Our bin arrived this morning. At about 7 AM I thought someone must have set up a drum kit in the street - incredible noise of wheelie bins being unloaded from a truck. Why does the council not generally observe the hours of the Noisy Work Regulations, and have its own services leave us in peace until 08.00?

The regular rubbish collection service starts even earlier - very disturbing. Is it necessary? Is the enforcement authority ignoring its own regulations and guidelines, when providing services?
