Our council (same one as Wenchy) supplies them as well.

However they have stopped their "free" garden waste collection and now want you to cough up £35 for their plastic sacks which they will empty once a fortnight. They will only empty their sacks, so now lots of people will be driving to the dumps - very green!

So far there have not been many takers with many angry letters in the local papers.

In sunny Cyprus the binmen come twice a week and take EVERYTHING!!!  Even stuff not in the bin.... and you can leave the bin out the day before or have the lid ajar! cloud9:

It's such a joy after the ridiculous UK system.  Not that I wish to rub it in or anyfink. 8)

Just wait until the European Regs get to work on your sunny island.  eveilgrin:

Snoopy was right........ sad24:   one area are trying to bring in a similar system to wot Tel described.......... noooo:

 eeek:


I know... eeek:  can't see it working.....only the ex-pats will use it....on my street this week someone has trimmed their palm tree........all dumped near-ish a bin...gone ... Thumbs:

Everybody around here (including me) dumps garden waste over the fence or into the nearest empty plot....

...down at the beach there was a 'green waste' dump but the council closed it a couple of weeks ago.... given that they couldn't offer any suggestion as to what to do with it now everybody just keeps dumping it there....

Most of the garden maintenance companies (and all of the Cypriots) take it just outside the village and dump it on open ground.... That also goes for tires, old sofas, TVs, etc. ::)
