£30 Extra To Have Your Green Bin Emptied !!
We were turned down for a green bin when we requested one. We've just had to cut back a tree that was blocking light into the garden so used the cuttings to make a hedgehog house on a small piece of overgrown land at the side.

I am not paying £30 for a green bin which I only use once or twice a year. I think I will charge the council £30 a year storage.

Firstly, Neil, I didn't realise that HBC were being selective as to who was allowed to have a green bin, so I can take your point as one of the disaffected. I wrongly assumed that everyone with a garden had one provided. Secondly, the fact that we are now allowed to place our garden waste into the grey bin, backs up your point that it is all going to landfill.... if this is the case, how long have we been separating the stuff for no good reason? And, the fact that many people will no longer need the empty green bins, why should we find space for them on our property? If you yourself really would like one, you're welcome to come and collect mine, stuff what the council says. Finally, as one of the 'idiots' you mention.... can you not tell, as a long-term moderator when someone is writing with tongue firmly planted within cheek? Not all of us need to use these silly cartoon creatures to make our point!! |

I've paid the £30. We used to have a recycling centre in Great Harwood, but now it's closed it would too much hassle going to the other centre. My green bin is currently full up to the top, so I'm waiting for the next collection so I can do the next part of my garden.

apparently they give you a sticker to put on your green bin, once the sticker has been stuck on a bin whats to stop someone nicking a bin with the sticker on and using as their own

It seems like another money making exercise by the local council, is this just in the Hyndburn area or nationwide? Living away from the UK for so long I only see/hear snippets of the lunacy & excesses from family, friends & chat sites like this un.
And much as I'm English, proud of my roots & heritage, the more I see/hear the less I comprehend. http://www.sherv.net/cm/emoticons/ha...y-emoticon.gif |

Had it down here in Devon for the last 3 years, never bothered paying it. I just incinerate my garden waste & risk upsetting the neighbours once a month or sometimes stick it in the grey one.

funny though because houses in more expensive areas with smaller gardens were surely when the council built council houses with gardens they were aware they had gardens ? or did tenants just put their own gardens in perhaps ? i guess lower income families just wernt worthy of a green bin and service from the council |

they wouldnt collect it separately if there wasnt any benefit to them in doing so they would just stick it in the general waste and send it straight to landfill we recycle to make sita money we now pay £30 to have our grass collected so it can make sita money the council shoudl take back the tips , employ the staff again and make all the profits themselves from all the various things like electronics , scrap metal , cardboard , plastic bottles , glass etc that has made sits a multi million if not billion £ company perhaps people woudl also be less likely to fly tip if money was directly benefiting the area and there wernt charges for people to take the stuff the tip sells to the tip |
