Dangerous bin collection conditions

letters 3Letters to the editor

Again this week, two rubbish bins went sliding down my street after being emptied, gaining momentum as they hurtled towards the bottom of the hill.

I fear for anyone walking on the road; as there are no footpaths, that is where a pedestrian would be.

While the nimble have a chance of avoiding getting hit, a small child or elderly person (could die if hit).

On the Central Coast there are many steep streets.

It is high time that the Council require – indeed install – flat areas for bins to be placed for emptying, perhaps as part of or extensions to driveways, with suitable edge-grading to avoid any hazardous changes in level.
