Signs are appearing on bins around Rye saying ‘Thank You’ to the refuse collectors.
It’s one essential service we all make use of every week, but which is often overlooked.
And garden waste collections have had to be stopped because of illness among the workforce, and the NHS advice to self isolate until they feel better.
So let’s not forget to say thank you to the refuse collectors who have dutifully collected our rubbish and recycling throughout the lockdown.
Sad to say though, the closure of the tips during the lockdown has led to a sharp increase in reports of fly tipping around the county, and some have ignored Rother District Council’s plea to not make bonfires of their garden waste – and compost instead.
But the normal rubbish collections continue as regularly as ever – so thank you.

thank you for all that you do
and all the other people carrying on in this crisis
we really appreciate everything you do
I’d like to thank all those that have carried on particularly the postmen and women. I have read it is as busy as Christmas with all the home shopping. Some would say that is unnecessary shopping but I look at as moral boosting and relieves the anguish of lockdown. Our NHS saves lives directly through care and action but the postal service may have saved many who struggle with severe depression just by being a lifeline. Well done.
