Gardener Tax
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? Their announcement "Improvements to household waste and recycling services" (I kid you not) can be found he http://www.cheltenham.gov.uk/site/sc...php?newsID=613 Steve Harris - Cheltenham - To get my real address, remove one fruit |

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. mark |

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. T |
