Cheltenham Borough Council is fed up with collecting garden refuse in
reusable green bags free of charge. Instead, they are offering to rent us
bins - a snip at £36/year. Or we can drive to the tip. They just don't get
this environment lark do they?



It has been a chargeable service round here for a while (Broadland District
Council). It works out about £1.50/ bin over the year. Good value I would
say if you compare it with commercial waste disposals eg., skips and bag
collection. Buy a cup of tea out and see how much change you get from
£1.50. I had to go on a waiting list for a few weeks when I first applied
for a brown bin.
