Weird! Must be different councils, ours is South Hams.
Do what Marge does, and use it to make compost.
Our council doesn’t charge extra for garden waste… yet.
When it does, we’ll dispose of it ourselves.
Thanks JB, that’d more like it! 
My compost bin’s full of my own stuff JBR. 
Garden & household food waste here go into the brown bin, here.
East Devon.
You are in the posh bit.
We have a separate food waste bin Tiff.
I wouldn’t mind so much if we could buy cheap compost from the council. They must use it for their parks and gardens, what’s left of them. Weston Super Mare’s probably!
Anyway, the staff are self combusting so they can’t collect it.
:shock:
I aim to please!
No! LD! 
Don’t think so, that’s Exeter.
Anything to lift the cloud at the moment! 
Phew!
I’ve got the boiler man coming tomorrow I’m going to fumigate him on the doorstep!
Well put the compost on the garden and start again then!
Make him wear a boiler suit.
I can tell jokes too!
So I’ve noticed!
When was that?
I’m not good at jokes, never can remember the punch line.
