Several residents have contacted the Ross Gazette concerned about the quantity of rubbish waiting to be collected from Pigs Alley.

One caller told the Gazette that the bins have been emptied but the number of black sacks which were by the side of the bins are still there, and more have been added. They are concerned that it could smell, attract rats and also as the bags split the rubbish will start to disperse to other areas. They are also concerned that the public rubbish bin is full to overflowing and needs emptying. They told the Ross Gazette they have reported the matter to Herefordshire Council.
