A woman has spoken of her bewilderment after seeing her wheelie bin thrown into the back of a lorry by a refuse collector.
CCTV footage captured by a neighbour shows the worker hurling the green bin into the collection vehicle in Ripley, Derbyshire, on 7 April. Amber Valley Borough Council said it was told by contractors the move was due to two bins being put out.The authority has launched an investigation into the incident.
The woman, who has asked to remain anonymous, said she initially thought her bin had been taken by one of their neighbours before she watched the CCTV footage back."I've no idea why they would do it. The bin wasn't damaged in anyway shape or form."A spokesperson for Amber Valley Borough Council said they had been told by their recycling partner, Norse Group, that the resident was putting out two waste bins, which is not permitted.
"The council is therefore currently in contact with Norse to ensure an investigation is undertaken so that incidents of this nature are avoided in future."
'Refuse Collector' don't you mean 'Bin Man'.
This is news?
At least he's taking it away, my bin men smash em, break em and leave at my neighbours, with their smashed and broken ones.

SNICKERSUK there's your next ad...
Literally scraping the bottom of the (bin) barrel for this story
He's one of the new climate control bin men helping here realise that if you need two bins you are producing to much waste.
I blame bin laden
Regardless,you don't put a bin in the back of a bin lorry!!
What makes this story even more mysterious is that the bin appears to be empty when thrown into the lorry. Why would you put out an empty bin? I shall not sleep tonight.
Oh my goodness what shall we do🧐 bbc charging us for this reporting ffs
Village news.
bbc will report on anything to stop them having to report on this.
Incredible how you found this story but fail to report on the corruption in the Tory Party.
Is this really newsworthy?
This is despicable!!!!
Bin here before
Incredible story. Watergate... you can finally step down.
I love how the council are only worried because the contractor never recycled the bin. Fucking hell.
Outrageous. I hope the poor woman is alright after this horrific ordeal, she must be absolutely devastated.
Yet again. the BBC demonstrates why we should be forced to pay the licence fee through threat of jail.
Can you please keep us updated as to what the investigation reveals.....
An impossible paradox for the British: what if it's the (hard) Binman who is messing with your bins
I hope the bins don’t see this 😔
Emptying bins is clearly beyond his capabilities, and I honestly don't know where he can go from here.
BBC news for this
None story, easy enough to find out if she pays for two bins, my money is that she doesn’t and this is her being a massive Karen
You’re missing the picture of the person who owns the bin pointing at it with a disgruntled look on their face.
😜
Clickbait government funded.
Slow news day.
Surely this is a story for the Parish bi-monthly newsletter?
Rubbish!!
Rubbish story.
Well, that would explain a thing or two.
Proper journalism 🤥
Riveting.
If a Bin is Damaged they automatically throw it away.
