Grandfather's fury as binmen refused to walk 18 INCHES to collect his wheelie bin
'A grandfather today launched a scathing attack on council binmen who refused to walk 18 INCHES to collect his green waste.
Under council rules wheelie bins must be within one metre of the kerb before they are collected.
But Gordon Morris, 70, said his wheelie bin would block the pavement if he adhered to the rule, instead setting his bin 18 inches away on his driveway.
Refuse collectors, however, in Southwick, Wiltshire, refused to take the bin, as the rules had been broken.'
