Always a weird way of doing things

I'm trying to dispose of an old sofa (no fire labels). Their bulky waste collection service expects me to put it outside on the pavement as I make the booking, and it will be collected "within 7 to 10 working days". So my sofa could be on the pavement for 2 weeks !!
In contrast, Newark and Sherwood would tell me exactly what day to put it out. And they are cheaper (for multiple items).
Bassetlaw's way of working seems calculated to make the district look untidy.
Got a similarly unhelpful response when I pointed out that a dog waste bin fills up faster than their emptying schedule can cope with. Apparently it's the users' fault for putting too much waste in there !
