Snip of posts on councils charging for compost bins.
Seems somewhat of a cheek to expect people to buy the bin and/or be
charged annually for this sort of thing, given that the LA would
(presumably) rather people did this so as not to have to landfill it.
Our garden waste is also collected here, in the same wheelie bin that
takes kitchen food waste, but they don't have the cheek to charge for it
(not that we really use the facility, except for getting rid of say
things
like brambles or weeds I don't want to compost)
We have the same service here. Free, and they give you the bin. You can
purchase a second bin if you need it, and I think they may make a yearly
charge for emptying that. I now have three bins in my garden - grey for
general rubbish, blue for recycling and brown for compostable waste. All
free.
When we reported a bin missing, a new one was delivered free the next day.
The
missing one found it's own way home.
We have
2 grey
1 green
1 red for chemical waste
Chmical? What comes under that heading?
Glass is disposed of elsewhere.
Same here.
Heavy rubbish is collected on request.
Same here, with a £10 charge.
Paper is collected once a week by a local sports club who have been paid
to do
it by the local authority ever since there has been a world used paper
surplus.
Goes in the recycling if whole, in the compost if shredded.

It's pointless to try and discuss ethics with a spider.
