Our garden waste is also collected here, in the same wheelie bin that takes kitchen food waste, but they don't have the cheek to charge for it (not that we really use the facility, except for getting rid of say things like brambles or weeds I don't want to compost) We have the same service here. Free, and they give you the bin. You can purchase a second bin if you need it, and I think they may make a yearly charge for emptying that. I now have three bins in my garden - grey for general rubbish, blue for recycling and brown for compostable waste. All free. When we reported a bin missing, a new one was delivered free the next day. The missing one found it's own way home. We have 2 grey 1 green 1 red for chemical waste Chmical? What comes under that heading? Glass is disposed of elsewhere. Same here. Heavy rubbish is collected on request. Same here, with a £10 charge. Paper is collected once a week by a local sports club who have been paid to do it by the local authority ever since there has been a world used paper surplus. Goes in the recycling if whole, in the compost if shredded. -- Kathy It's pointless to try and discuss ethics with a spider. |

Red bag for paper and cardboard, green bag for tins and plastic, a box for glass and a black bin for "nothing you can do with this" We are expected do our own composting. That's OK for me as I have a large garden and a compost heap but how those who live in apartments manage this I don't know. |
