It's the same at my local council
also if you want them to take your garden rubbish you have to buy their specially printed green plastic bags!

yes i do have a compost bin but have been re-doing a patch of garden and had too much to put in the bin

Surely wheelie bins would be better ,a green one for household rubbish that cannot be recycled and a brown one for garden waste.

Oh forgot.....i keep x2 cloth bags in my handbag for when i'm out & about in town,but keep hessian bags in the car for the big shop

My Council doesn't provide plastic bags for non-recyclable stuff. We are supposed to provide our own black bags (the colour is specified). I still use a supermarket carrier bag instead because that is the maximum amount of rubbish two of us produce in a week, not a black bag's worth. I've had to stop using the orange Sainsbury's ones though - they sometimes weren't taken away because it appears orange is the code colour for builders' rubble and the binmen couldn't tell the difference between a small Sainsbury's carrier bag with fairly lightweight rubbish in it and a large orange rubble bag.

People saying they want the free bags for their rubbish bin......why dont you just help yourself to the ones people have put for re-cycling?
