Just put it somewhere dry for a few weeks. I leave all my ground elder, nettle, dock and creeping thistle roots in heaps or even just spread out on top of the bed, so long as it is dry (so maybe the shed floor would be a better spot) it dies.
I pay council tax too @Fairygirl but would be expected to pay another £3 a month for a green bin collection. That's what you get for living in the Royal Borough - that and green wellies

Then you are lucky if it's included in your council tax, you must have either rich or heavily subsidised councils these days... it used to be so in ours too until recently, now it's an optional extra... although I don't necessarily disagree with it, things do have to be paid for.. but it encourages more fly tipping.. I've even had other people dump rubbish in my bin [in the early hours probably]..

You mean you don't have those poncy leather/goretex Ariat ones at a couple of hundred quid? Swings and roundabouts - I think there's a move to encourage recycling etc, and our council was pretty slow compared to others in that respect, but people definitely recycle more. Some councils have more expensive rates too, so it's hard to make comparisons. Considering the c.tax rates, services generally in East Renfrewshire are poor compared to some regions, but on the whole, it's a more affluent area, so that makes a difference too. Although our address is technically Glasgow, we don't come under Glasgow City Council.

What!? Just so the fox could have a new toy? I already have three left gloves, don't need one right foot anyway, you need ankles and long legs to wear those, I have neither.....
Oh yes, and a bit of spare cash, hey ho.

I pay £84 pa (on top of our expensive council tax) for two green bins which get collected every two weeks. We do compost what we can in 3 bins and shred some. Unfortunately our shredder doesn't like too many green leaves or knobbly bits and it jams so it's not suitable for everything.
I fully expect our council to start charging for green bins at some stage. They can't win really - they get slated if council tax goes up, they have ever-increasing costs for things like care for the elderly and disabled, special needs educaton etc, and don't get enough cash from central government. Something has to give. While recycling in all its forms is important in the medium to long term, I guess it has to be put into perspective.
