Banish garden waste bin charges
Reverse plans to charge householders for the emptying of their garden waste bins.
Why is this important?
Removing the free fortnightly garden waste bin collection covered by the householders council tax payment to allegedly save funds is going to cause additional costs. With householders being charged to collect garden waste from their homes it will encourage fly tipping of the garden waste in other locations. This will then require additional resources to manage and clean the area affected with this new fly tipping problem. There will still be a kerbside collection of garden waste, presently collected with the existing garden waste. It appears counterproductive to cancel part of a service when the refuse collection trucks will still be visiting the houses.
