Not so sure about that Cashy, the "Lazy" that is, after all they load it up in a car, drive some distance from their house, then dump their crap in someone elses jurisdiction, quite a lot of work really!

charges and unnecessary rules increase fly tipping

this has been proven by the sharp rise in fly tipping since the very day the charges for household waste came in to effect a few years back

yet still the council wont learn and still have these ridiculous charges at the tip


as far as im concerned anything that comes from your house is house hold waste and should be free of charge to dispose of

£30 a year is only the start of it.Put grass cuttings in a bin bag let it settle a few days,tie bag up and put in black bin,same with cuttings.Let bigger stuff dry then burn it along with cardboard and other stuff then they wont get any recycling money,play them at their own game,i personally haven,t got time or energy to clean out plastic and glass jars or tin cans so sod them all in one bin.

Don't waste the plastic bin bag, we send enough to land fill. Just put your green waste into your non recycling bin and it settles better anyway. I prod with a spade helps as well :D

Go wild and really upset the greenies, concrete over the lot.

Re: £30 Extra To Have Your Green Bin Emptied !!
 

same in my neck of the woods. fly tipping was rare till these charges came in now its as common as roadworks.

If this was France, the council members would have a good sized compost heap in their front gardens by now. :D

In Brittany you take your green waste to the tip yourself - then you can go back in April, or thereabouts, and collect as much compost as you want for free. Recyclables go into yellow single use bags which you then have to take to collection points in your neighbourhood.

some councils are now doing 3 week collections

brace yourself its going to get worse as our council soon copies others when they realize others have got away with it
