Default Advice needed on garden waste please

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

Thank you

1. No bins. They will collect garden waste in sacks if a sticker (£1
per sack) is attached.

2. The Council do not provide wheelie bins for any purpose, I'm
pleased to say, though they currently have an experiment providing
small boxes (emptied free) for kitchen waste which they then compost.

LB Bromley.

3. N/A. I carry armfuls to the shredder and boxes of shreddings to the
compost bin. Uncompostible waste (e.g. branches) I burn.

Note: You can find out most Councils' mechanisms by visiting their
websites. Tedious to do the whole country, I know, but you'll probably
get more coverage than you'll get replies here.
