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. 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.

That may just be the official line, have you tried talking to the binmen?
Ours are very accommodating, and when I appeared with a massive spiky
berberis on a garden fork they were happy to stand at a safe distance and
let me toss it in.
