B-) The only stuff that goes in the green recycle bin are nasties we
don't want to compost here. Things like thistle, ragwort etc. Of course
the council should know that we compost as they supplied the compost
bins, ah no that would require joined up thinking wouldn't it.



Oh and ivy and ground elder and the horrible little alliums that
someone gave me last year but seed themselves and grow faster than I
can dig them up. Which is why I don't feel inclined to buy back
council compost


We are encourage to put foodstuffs in ours (except for bones). They
can be wrapped in newspaper if desired!


Yep, same here.

Compost made on this scale must get up to and stay at pretty high temps
for a while. I should imagine any perennial roots etc. are well done
for.
