    Lovely snowdrops, Flo

    We already pay to have green waste removed, all the rest goes in plastic bags so can't put it in those. the big news here is that we are going to have wheelie bins for re-cycling. 

    G this is a boring topic

    we have recycling bins for food waste, recycling bins for paper, recycling bins for plastic, recycling bins for tins, recycling for clothes & fabrics, recycling bins for bottles & glass, recycling for green waste, although they don't start collecting until May (hope they bring a lorry just for my house)..

    Dorset has same as figrat but not the textiles, phones or cartridges. They do take domestic batteries. We have to pay for a green waste bin. I don't mind any of it if it gets used in a worthwhile way rather than just being dumped. Which it may or may not.

    Ours collects green waste - if you pay, General waste - black plastic bag (one  a week a household) and recycling - not foil, glass, cling film, shredded papeer as many plastic bags as you like but bottle banks etc or tip for everything else. There has been a big controversy about wheelie bins and they are now introducing them in April.but only for re-cycling They will then take glass Hooray I say

    Every week the foxes rip open the black bagsimage
