Default Garden dustbin incinerators

Could be a moral in that policy !!!
If folk cant burn or compost hedge clippings then maybe they will think
twice about growing the hedge

Paul,

DO NOT let anybody tell you that lighting a bonfire is OK after a

certain
time of day. That's bunkum. It is an offence against most local
authorities' rules to annoy others by lighting a bonfire at any time of

day.

Compost, green stuff, shred and compost most other stuff and take the

tree
trunks to the local disposal amenity!

My council is stopping green waste e.g.; hedge clippings from being
placed in normal wheelie bins. They are introducing a charge of £30 a
year for a special green waste bin.

they suggested composting hedge clippings and then they realized that
they would take sometime to rot down. they then came up with taking the
stuff to the tip, but when i pointed out I only had a motorbike..... yes
you guessed it, have a bonfire was their reply.

Although i will probably get a bin at £30 i can see some residents as
being too mean, one lit a bonfire last week with 10 ft flames, the fire
was about 5 ft from a mature tree and could easily have caught fire.
