Gathering Garden Waste

1. Yes
2. Tonbridge & Malling (Kent) provide a green-lidded wheelie for garden, kitchen and other 'compostable' waste. If the bin is full, they will also take up to 6 additional bin-bags of similar waste.
3. No. Bin is too unwieldy.

 

1 - no. its East Devon
2 and 3 n/a

Burn or compost mine. Its too time consuming to bag up and take to the dump = all those recycling miles..

recycling is a joke as its half-hearted. The sooner they will only allow packaging to be used that is recycable the better. Whatever happened to woollen jumpers - its all acrylic these days.

 

1/ Yes
2/ Torfaen Borough Council.
3/ Yes.

 

1..Bins supplied at a cost of £35 per year.Not for me!
2.Wychavon C.C
3. NO. I recycle everything. :gnthb:

 

I used to live by the motto "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle", as in try to reduce what you need in the first place, reuse what you can, and whatever is left you recycle if possible.

However now, based on what many waste disposal firms do, perhaps it should be "Reduce, Reuse, Send whats left to some developing country on the other side of the planet and just dump it".

 

I would love to have multiple compost heaps and/or bins but we don't have the space. The composter takes all the kitchen waste, corrugated cardboard and chicken droppings/bedding. The council "green" wheelie bin the garden recyclables. I know it's properly recycled - West Sussex council are very into that particular theme.

 

1) yes, a big brown wheelie. Collected every 2 weeks except for the winter months.
2) North Tyneside
3) no, with gardens as small as mine I use the bucket to bin method.

ps, good luck with your project! Any chance of having feedback, at least I am curious?
