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. We have a fortnighly kerbside collection of "compostable waste", which unlike many council areas includes all food waste, and is suitable for garden waste. They will only take one bin, and the lid has to be closed, so if you have more waste, as we do from time to time, you have to take it to the tip. I can only just fit one lawn-mowing into the bin, provided I haven't waited too long since the previous mowing.
2. It's a wheelie bin. Chiltern District Council.
3. Only in the front garden. Though maybe once we take the child security gate down I might take it into the back garden.
