    Do most councils do these? I want to get one, but can't afford to buy one, or the ones I've seen anyway. May need to see if our council will be looking at providing these as well.. doubt it, but we'll see.

    Have you checked it against your postcode? If you go to the site you can make a postcode search. Also just to be on the safe side ring your council and double check, you never know, they might be thinking of introducing them!

    yes I did that and it came up with northumbria water and the suffolk place but on the actual page with the water butts and composting bins it was just the suffolk one not northumbria, which would be ours. I will see if I can check with our council I think.

    Thanks
