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? ... :-))


I know now, I meant to save it and check before sending, and clicked on
send instead. And no, I'm not, but I reckon if I who left secondary
school at 15 can phrase my native tongue correctly, someone at
university should be able to.

You may be right .... or not. Such opinions are, perforce, subjective,
my contention being that the most important attribute is to make oneself
understood. The OP has done that. But, Steve, what that has to do with
the price of fish I have no idea :-))

Cheers,

Tom
