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.

We have to have a brown bin here that costs 26/year to get rid of weeds and
such. Luckily I have a big compost heap.
If we dare to put any garden waste in our black wheelie bin it will not be
taken as the wheelie bin police look inside.
