Deliveroo bags used to deliver food across the city are being left outdoors overnight in unsanitary conditions, chained to dirty railings behind the Arndale. According to local residents, it’s a practice that has been going on ‘for months’.
PR consultant India Morris, who lives nearby, says that the bags are left there by delivery riders, and that the number of bags varies every day, suggesting that they are in use and not simply discarded kit. Posting a shot of the bags to Twitter, she tagged in the multi-national company to bring the problem to their attention, with other users noting that they 'see it every morning'.
She was then shocked when the company’s ‘escalation team’ got back to her and asked to dispose of them herself. Deliveroo also offered her the option of prepaid postage labels to send them back to the company.
