PAY! Surely disposal of household waste is a cost than comes out of
your Council Tax. The only waste disposal we might(*) have to pay
extra for is "bulky items".

Wiltshire Council is about to start a consultation on 3 options for a
change to 'green bin' garden waste collections, which are currently
free. Option 1 - no green bin collections Dec/Jan/Feb
Option 2 - no green bin collections November to March inclusive
Option 3 - to charge - the website previously mentioned £35/wheelie
bin, but the amount has been written out.
