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.
