Man with severe arthritis 'neglected' by council and Biffa in feud over bin collections

A man who can only leave his house in a wheelchair said he's been "neglected" by Wirral Council and Biffa as he hasn't had his bins collected for over a month.

Alan Lewis told the ECHO he has recently been accepted onto the assisted bin collection scheme because of his disability - but he still hasn't had his green bin collected for well over a month. Mr Lewis claimed his bins haven't been collected because of a long-running feud with the council and Biffa because he's made a number of complaints against them because of the way they leave the bins.

The 51-year-old from Birkenhead is wheelchair-bound because of severe arthritis and osteoporosis and can struggle to leave his house. He said he's been forced to make a number of complaints against his bin collectors in the past as bins have been left across the pavement rendering it inaccessible for wheelchair users.
