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

I am glad that soaps are highlighting this serious issue that impacts on the lives of millions of innocent people day in, day out. Hopefully by raising awareness, the issue will become easier for people to live with.

I think Corrie is taking a jibe at EastEnders!

Why are both soaps not providing helpline numbers for distressed viewers at the end of each episode?

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

Corrie actually had the bin story a few months before EastEnders, now they've brought it up again.

That should do it, a warning before and then a helpline at the end. Maybe then the trauma will stop.

These bin stories are great and making Brian a recycling czar (or tsar
) is a masterstroke.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.

![]() ![]() At least Corrie's bin story does not revolve around the men of Weatherfield recognising Tracy's bedroom lamp this time! |

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! 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) |

A couple of days ago I was raiding in the bins as I 'accidentally' threw out some very important documentation. Whilst rummaging I came across a plastic bag, the same one I recall a neighbour of mine down the road having several days ago. Remembering that useful story with Old Man Connor and the incriminating plastic bag, I handed it into the police and told them I believed this meant my neighbour was a murderer. Unfortunately, I got booked for wasting their time.
So yeah, f*** you Corrie for that misleading, issue-driven plot. |

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. |
