BARNSLEY man Joe Haxby thinks it’s a load or rubbish he has to pay Barnsley Council £20 for a replacement wheelie bin - because he’s had his stolen six times in little over a year.
Joe, 25, of Hoyle Mill Road, Stairfoot, is being driven mad by bin thieves and bin ‘squatters’.
On top of having six stolen, he regularly finds his bins filled up with other people’s rubbish when he gets home from work after they’ve been emptied by the council.
“You put it out at 6am, and if you don’t get home until after half five there’s not a lot you can do, you can’t get it in any earlier,” said Joe.
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
