Garden waste recycled as compost by local councils
"Chris Hogg" wrote
In recent years, our local council (Kerrier, in west Cornwall) has been taking garden waste at local waste recycling sites. They take it away to a central depot where it's shredded and composted. But it's disposed of locally, rather than being made available to the public I'm amazed and disappointed. What do other councils do? My council (Macclesfield) gives you a voucher every time you take garden waste to the tip. When you have 5 vouchers, you can exchange them for a free (20litre??) bag of compost. The only problem with this method is that they give you 1 voucher for any quantity of garden waste, so it's very tempting to take garden waste to the tip in small amounts in order to get lots of vouchers.
