Dear fellow posters.

For your information, my local council WANT us, the householders to
come up with other uses for our soon-to-be-defunct bins. They have
INVITED us to keep them and use them for other purposes on the basis
that if we don't, they, the council have to collect them from us and
will then chop them up- and chuck them in landfill. That is EXACTLY the
fate of my bin as indicated in the literature from my local council. Do
you consider that preferable?

Reusing them as you have suggested, but if the council are going to withdraw
them what do they propose replacing them with?

Or are they going back to plastic bags which are not exactly the best way to
deal with waste?

I did not make this clear in my original post as I thought I was
posting a practical question in search of a practical answer on a
gardening forum not on 'Moral Dilemma! Please Guide Me!' thus did not
feel the need to explain myself. I obviously have not been a memeber of
this forum long enough to realise this prerequisite.

If you had put more informaton in the original post it might have helped, we
are all concerned about the effect on the planet of unnecessary waste.

Thankyou to those who did attempt to stick to the point and not get all
moral and superior about this.

Alan
