How wide spread are "green waste" collections? All ours gets are
woody prunings and the ragwort, dock, thistle etc...

Some councils offer green waste collection free. Mine offers a brown bin
the size of a wheelie bin for £16/year collected once a fortnight. I could
fill that in one day!
I do a lot of composting but very occasionally I have a bonfire in an
incinerator, which as I said before is so far down my garden that no-one
even notices AFAIK.
Never had any complaints anyway.
