I am carrying out research for a design project at Strathclyde
University and would like to know;

1. If your local council provides a kerbside recycling bin for garden
waste?

Yes.
2. If they do is it a wheelie bin and which local council is it?

Green wheelie bin. Hambleton DC, North Yorks.

3. When working in your garden do you bring that bin to where your
working? Eg when gathering autumn leaves do you bring the bin to the
pile of leaves?

Yes. But I use my green wheelie bin for making leaf mould. I already
compost more things that the council will accept as "green" waste.

It would be nice if councils could standardise on the colours of their
wheelie bins. The worst "green" recycling bins I have ever seen were
shocking pink in Salford near Manchester. ISTR they have about 4 full
size wheelie bins of various strange colours per household!
