Invasion of the Bin Snatchers

About 11 am yesterday the brother was alerted to a furious banging on the front door and repeated ringings of the bell. Being a man of some intellegence he looked out an upstairs window and noticed a truck full of black wheelie bins.

Dun Laoghaire Rathdown Council seem to have finally decided to make the obvious move of recapturing the wheelie bins of non payers! Obviously he didn't answer (for nearly half an hour!) and we have the bin for another day or 2 any how. Unfortunately I wasn't there so no photos but just a few obvious points.

1.The bin is the property of the council so they have the right to grab it. BUT they can't come onto your property without your permission so as soon as its emptied grab it back and don't answer the door in suspicious circumstances!

2.The brother tried to pursue them and ask soke questions but they weren't forth coming. They are obviously private sub contracters of some description and not council workers.
In fact de bruther described them as “thugs”

3.Photos – if anyone gets the chance photos esp of company names and reg plates would be good. And if this happens to spread to a part of Dublin with an organised local campaign you might even be able to blockade them.

Any way just passing it on for what its worth. My guess is they would be most likely to make the grab just after your collection – so people in Dun Laoghaire rathdown especially watch out!
