“I’m absolutely disgusted with the way in which the Council’s waste collection service carry out their duties. I went out earlier and saw rubbish strewn across and along the street, a black bin bag and worryingly a yellow clinical waste bag in the middle of the street exactly where a passing vehicle would drive over it… and they did.

"We are paying ridiculous “Council tax” and rent and expect better service. I am a smoker and the cigarette end I leave is about 6mm in diameter and 15mm long yet if I dare drop this virtually invisible price of rubbish on the floor, I am likely to receive a hefty fine."

"I have complained to the council, told them that a recycling vehicle was on the other end of the street and that perhaps they could contact that crew to pick up the detritus left by their colleagues. The answer I got? “No it will have to be passed to the waste services department”."

The issue has been raised to Wrexham County Borough Council, and a spokesperson said: “We’d encourage anyone who has concerns about their refuse or recycling collection to get in touch with us directly. The easiest way to report issues is via the council website at https://www.wrexham.gov.uk/contact”
