Advice needed on garden waste please
 

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 YES
2 Wheelie; WODC
3 Do not have one. Use a compost heap or take large quantity to local recycling centre.

Yes.

Green wheelie bin. Hambleton DC, North Yorks.

3. When working in your garden do you bring that bin to where your

pile of leaves?

Yes. But I use my green wheelie bin for making leaf mould. I already
compost more things that the council will accept as "green" waste.

It would be nice if councils could standardise on the colours of their
wheelie bins. The worst "green" recycling bins I have ever seen were
shocking pink in Salford near Manchester. ISTR they have about 4 full
size wheelie bins of various strange colours per household!

Martin Brown

1. Yes
2. Not a wheelie-bin, a large green bag (or two) but you have to pay
annually for them. Collected weekly by Runnymede BC.
3. We have two large compost bins and a plastic Darlek on our allotment that
take almost all green waste, large woody items are taken to the Council Tip
for professional composting. Diseased plant material like blighted potatoes
or white rot onions are put in the normal household waste wheelie-bin.

The nearest collection point for the garden waste bin (which is brown)
is a good 100yds down the road; I therefore prefer to take any garden
waste which I don't want on my compost heap (hawthorn prunings, for
example) round in bags to the recycling centre (400 yds) as and when I
collect it, rather than have it hanging around for the infrequent garden
waste collection.

Most garden waste, all kitchen waste, cardboard, most paper goes on to
my own compost heap.

No, but I could buy one although they're quite pricey. Instead I buy
"green waste" sacks from the local garden centre at 30p a pop and use
those.

2. If they do is it a wheelie bin and which local council is it?

Bracknell Forest BC

3. When working in your garden do you bring that bin to where your

Well, I take my *sack* to the waste, yes.

Alas I do pay council tax and get provided with a black wheelie bin for
non recyclable stuff, black box for recyclable, and a smallish brown
bin for recyclable food waste.

I pay Council tax and get provided with black bags for non recyclables,
which are collected from my back door (there being no suitable place for
a wheelie bin out the front). I get green bags for recyclables which are
supposed to be collected from my back door, but this has never yet
happened and I've given up the struggle. Garden waste would be collected
from 100yds down the road, but it's easier to take them 400yds to the
'recycling centre' 400 yds away at my own convenience. We had a 2 month
hiatus in collections in the summer due to differences of opinion
between the Council and the dustbin men as to whether we should be on a
wheelie bin route. And now the dustbin men are on strike, so we have had
no collections whatever since the end of August.
