Grass fly-tipper hit hard in pocket

If you don't want to compost them, you have to take them to a refuse place yourself, and the nearest one is quite a way away. We are in a fairly rural area, and waste services are minimal - no recycling collections, and you have to carry your bin bags out to a collection point rather than the dustmen visiting each house. We don't get bins provided either. Ah. The light dawns. I'm sure there are many different arrangements. My city's services are very generous, considering. The Big Trucks will pick up even things like old rolls of carpet on Garbage Day. About the only things that must be gotten rid of independently are construction waste and various things like paint and oil and garden chemicals. We put the wheely bins out at the curb, and they're collected by 1-man trucks with automatic grabbing arms, rather than individuals who empty bins or collect bags. The only non-mechanical operation is collection of bagged lawn waste, where a couple of people slit the bags and empty contents into the truck. The city next to mine allows raking leaves to the edge of the road at certain times to be swept/vacuumed up by special equipment. That city offers compost and mulch for sale. |
