A waste collection service has issued a statement after a chicken shop in Nottingham was accused of dumping litter on the street, with locals calling it "disgusting". Waste collection service Biffa say they did not collect the rubbish due to an issue with payment, which has now been resolved.
It comes after claims that the rubbish from Chickaros on Alfreton Road, Radford, was causing rats and flies. Local businesses say that they reported the overflowing bins to the council. They say the rubbish from the takeaway filled up the alleyway behind the shop and neighbouring Cromwell Street. Chickaros admitted the rubbish had built up due to delays in bin collections from commercial waste management service Biffa.
A Biffa spokesperson said: “The customer's account was put on hold for several weeks while an issue with payment was sorted out. That has now been resolved. As a result, we have now collected almost 300kg of waste from the customer’s two Biffa bins and cleared several black bags from the immediate area.
