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.

Red bag for paper and cardboard, *green bag for tins and plastic, a box for
glass and *a black bin for "nothing you can do with this"
We are expected do our own composting. *That's OK for me as I have a large
garden and a compost heap but how those who live in apartments manage this I
don't know.

We were given a compost bin each.
