I can't believe you have to pay fo r that!

What the blimmin eck does you council tax go for?????

What really annoys me is our local council charges for the collection of green waste - (OK they actually charge for a sack, £35 for the first & 17.50 for each additional one, and they replace them free), then they sell the compost!

Fareham gave us 3 big green bags to help save the planet

Then they said too many people were using them so they now only collect 1 every two weeks.

Its free but tend to either have loads of garden waste to get rid of or none at all. Tend to take it to the skip and leave it to the nice polish chaps to sort out.

East Hants is £25 per year for first green bag, £12.50 each for extra bags, have to buy a large green woven bag at £5 to start off. Fortnightly collection

Then they recycle as Pro grow and charge us for it

I started off using when it was £12 per year, but as it crept up I stopped, for my small amount it would be cheaper to take a taxi to the tip, I now just save it up & drop it off at tip when I go to Waterlooville on other business

we have brown bin for garden waste collected fortnightly along with boxes for tin & plastic, cardboard, paper, glass...black bin for everything else alternate week. all is free.

Brown bin for garden waste is collected fortnightly with no extra charge. I wold just put in the normal bin if they had the cheek to try and charge.!

£66 here on the South Coast for fortnightly brown box collections. Did tip trips for years and, as far as I'm concerned, it's money well spent as once a job's done it's done and I don't have the palavar of getting a hippo bag into a small car and queuing at the tip.
