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 [1] Yes. It's not only for garden waste, but also food waste, due to
our proximity to the ECO recycling facility.

2 Yes. East Dorset DC

3. No. A wheelbarrow is much more practical.


[1] I think you mean whether, rather than if.

2. This is not advice, it's data. Is Strathclyde one of Blair's
polyversities by any chance?


Glasgow has two Universities. Glasgow University (founded 1451) and the
University of Strathclyde (founded 1796 as Glasgow Technical College and
Royal Charter of University Status in 1964 - some time before Mr. Blair
was around. I attended the former for education and the latter for
social events. Both were excellent! BTW, are you always so pedantic when
someone asks for your help? ... :-))

PS: You are much better served that we in West Dorset. Perhaps it's the
Bournemouth influence. We have no green recycling, only normal black
sacks with special bags for paper and a box for glass. 95% of green and
kitchen waste goes into any one of the 4 compost heaps I have, the
remainder being taken to the excellent council recycling facility in
Sherborne.
