Moment binman removes rubbish bag from top of bin and dumps it on ground in Christmas collection

Residents have been left outraged after a binman was filmed as he left behind a bag from on top of a bin during a rubbish collection. The refuse collector, who has been branded as petty, could be seen walking along the pavement and without thinking twice, dumped a black bag on the pavement that had been on top of a wheelie bin. He then strolls off with the bin and empties the contents inside the dustbin lorry before returning it to the house in Hull.
The resident saw the incident on their doorbell camera footage and was left furious with the council over their Christmas rubbish collection. Sharing a video of what happened on social media, they wrote: "Remind me why I pay you over £130 a month [Hull City Council].”.
Many other people were similarly left irritated at the way the bag was left behind. One person wrote on X: "Now an extra bag or the lid being open by 1cm is refused! It’s madness." Another said: "Count yourself lucky, I pay more than that and they didn’t even touch the bin when I left a bag on top of it.".
And the strict rules in place for bin collections by Hull City Council can be seen on its website where it says “no side waste with the black bin”. It also points out: “Bins need to be at the boundary of your property with the handle facing towards the road from 7am.”.
