Bin Issues spreading North
So we have bingate on Eastenders that everyone is furious about yet Corrie has started its own bins storyline and no one is kicking up a fuss
It started with the headline on Eileen's paper yesterday and then the bins issue was mentioned tonight
So do you think it is realistic is everyone having bin issues

Iv added a poll I want to see how serious this issue is
To be honest I think we need to start having warnings before the programme air because I for one find bin scenes very distressing. And also mildly threatening.
Edit: I can't believe I just voted in a poll about bins:D
I'm disgusted at the lack of a helpline number at the end of each episode. The storyline is not being done justice in my opinion, it's a devastating real life issue but the storyliners are just using it for more box ticking
:D:D:D
Great minds!
That should do it, a warning before and then a helpline at the end. Maybe then the trauma will stop.
"The following programme contains scenes of wheelie bins which some viewers may find upsetting"
They look so sad when they're toppled over :D
Keep your neb out of my wheelie bin ...
One minute Roy is telling Brian how he's an advocate of recycling and shortly after we see all his milk cartons in the flat (presumably rinsed out) all stacked up and ready for the recycling bin.
Same here, always people moaning about how their bins have not been collected this time. So to be fair to them soaps are actually being realistic when having storylines about bins! A very realistic issue
At least Corrie's bin story does not revolve around the men of Weatherfield recognising Tracy's bedroom lamp this time!
Maybe that's what the distressing scenes were this evening
That was so funny tho
I notice that, thought I was seeing things with the milk cartons.
Residents even get the local councillors on to it and the recycle van made to come back and pick up
Oh yes least we forget she had both David Platt and Nick Tisley in the same week!
Bins are probably Corrie's most useful prop. Some of the uses have been:
To provide employment for Curly Watts and Eddie Yates.
Curly's bin not being emptied after he became a councillor and upset the bin men by trying to make it that residents wouldn't have to bring their bins round to the street.
Everyone thinking it was blue bin day when it was actually black bin day.
Used to wheel the body of Colin Fishwick around the street after John Stape killed him.
Maria's bloody rug being found in one.
Maria's bloody hairdresser's scissors found in the factory's bin after Aidan threw them there. (But that one's more like a skip anyway)
Goes for a lie down....
So yeah, f*** you Corrie for that misleading, issue-driven plot.
True.
There was a subplot about not knowing whether it was brown, black or green bin day before Emily had left.
Joking aside, whilst it is hardly gripping drama and shouldn't be the focus, cutting down on bin collections, ecpectong people to find space for multiple wheelie bins and not emptying them if not sorted correctly us something that is happening on more and more Councils and people do moan about it so fair enough for it to be mentioned.
For the record, my Borough is currently in the 'Consultation' stage of proposed changes. Public meetings, petitions to stop it and that kind of stuff.
Tracy's lamp actually raised a smile from me!
You obviously haven't got a murdering psycho hairdresser as a neighbour then Callum... so it's not all bad news!!
The council just don't deal with them properly and expect people to live in rubbish. I have resulted to either waking up at stupid o clock to take the bin to the front or leave it slightly on our drive. They need to male both bins weekly but different days per section.
