A bin man was captured on CCTV leaving a rubbish bag on the ground late in December, sparking criticism on social media from an annoyed resident. The twist? The worker was following the rules.The incident, captured in Hull, UK, by Sam Turner’s Ring cam, shows a bin man taking a rubbish bag off the top of a bin and setting it down instead of putting it in the truck—a moment Turner thought was of questionable efficiency. Turner took to social media, sharing the clip to express his discontent.“Remind me why I pay you over £130 a month,” he wrote.However, upon checking the Hull City Council recycling guide, it said that when collecting black bins, only “what is inside the bin” will be collected, and the lid must be closed.Though the bin man’s actions may have seemed inefficient, he was indeed following the letter of the bin law.
