Wednesday's bin-emptying day at the flats
When Phil the caretaker wheels all the bins
To the main gate. Binmen pull up in that
Smelly red lorry of theirs (cos within's
All sorts of disgusting stuff, like old tins
All caked in slime). I feel sorry for Phil
Having to do that to earn dough. These things
Have to be done, though, cos dirt and germs kill.
They're also cutting branches off trees till
They no longer overhang footpaths. What's
The worry? Heads at risk from bird droppings?
No, just routine site maintenance, says Phil.
A day in the death of the Salford flats
Off Regent Road, near Sainsbury's and Maplins.
