A frustrated resident has penned a poem about the pong created by rubbish not collected by Kingston Council contractors.

Food waste bins in York Way were not emptied for three weeks, the resident, who asked not to be named, said.

The rubbish was eventually cleared last week.

She wrote:

Filthy, rotting rubbish

Making such a stink

Veolia please take it away

It’s your job I think?

 

Disgusting sloppy food waste

Sat here for 3 weeks

The bags are all now breaking down

And out the garbage leaks

 

We’ve spoken with a Councillor

And with Environmental Waste

They’d better pull their fingers out

Get onto this with haste

 

We’ve spoken to Veolia

No one seems to know

Who is meant to sort this out

And make this problem go.
