Bin Man:
7 a.m - we are not allowed to go out any earlier due to the noise.I see them traveling all over the place from 6:30am
Some of our rounds are in fairly rural areas so i suppose if we pushed it we would be allowed to drive to the first collection point but not start until 7 a.m the ones you see may have different rules to us but they shouldn’t be starting until 7 a.m.
Noise at night: warning notices
Councils can investigate complaints of statutory nuisance to tackle noise produced at any time of day or night.
They may also issue warning notices in response to complaints about noise above permitted levels from 11pm to 7am. These warning notices can be used by councils for noise that’s not a statutory nuisance.
The warning notice must tell the recipient:
that the noise is coming from the premises between 11pm and 7am
that the noise exceeds, or may exceed permitted levels as measured from within the complainant’s dwelling
that the noise must be reduced to below the permitted level in a specified period (this must be at least 10 minutes after the notice is served and must end by 7am)
what time the notice is issued
