Apparently in last weeks Chronicle it says they refued to empty one fella's bin because it had flowers in it that looked like they'd been bought in a shop. Eh?
a couple of weeks back one of the neighbours got a letter informing her that if she put sweet wrappers in her green bin she would have a sixty pound fine, she later found out that it was one of the bin men who put it in. how bads that, surely they no which bin is which
i wonder if it's some kind of equal rights employer thing. You know, they have to employ a certain number of stupid people.
The guy in question is going to catalogue all the plants in his garden So the council have all the relevant information at their disposal and can make an informed decision on whether plants in his green bin come from his garden or the shop.
Why should it make any difference if the flowers were bought in a shop or not. Surely they would have been grown in a garden somewhere and are therefore garden waste. (angel)
This is just some of the stuff we saw in the "Green" waste in the woods And I didn't go rummaging either cos it stunk to high heaven. It was steaming.
LOL! What if they did come from the shop? Do they think we grow all our own cardboard as well? Muppets.
I think it's a pesticide issue You're not supposed to put veg peelings in there either. It's ridiculous. Dunt affect us like, we compost. Can 'compost' be a verb? I am currently sat on the sofa composting. Think I'll join Dillinger for some tofu and pilates.
RE: I think it's a pesticide issue So people don't use pesticides in their own gardens? Do they? Sorry, I don't know as I don't do any gardening.
I understand that but it still seems silly that if we buy a bunch of flowers from the shop we can't put them in a bin for garden waste when they die but if we get some from our gardens we can.
I was told that by one of my neighbours a couple of weeks back. So I put some cut flowers in the grey bin. When the bin men came they took them out and put them in the green bin. You can't win!
Rebel and burn the fecking thing. waste of fecking taxes. cut back on councilors free meals and trips to the twin towns. charge pubs for policing the town centre at night.
