Let us assume that I decline to pay the additional charge for garden waste in my green bin.
I am assured that kitchen refuse will still be collected for no charge. So, if I buy a cabbage from my local supermarket, eat some and put the remains in the green bin that will be fine. But, if i grow a cabbage in my garden, eat some and put the remains in the green bin it will not be collected. so my question is "Who will do the DNA testing to establish the provenance of the discarded portion of cabbage?" |

I think the key here in this rip off policy is in the term "kitchen waste" Both examples of cabbage will have passed through your kitchen and are therefore classified as "kitchen waste". So it would appear that all you have to do to avoid the charge is to pass you hedge clippings through the kitchen on their way to the green bin. Maybe cook a few shoots with the intention of eating them as they pass through. Result??

"Make privett part of your 5 a day" will be the clarion call. -------------------- Si non prius succederent.......... relinquere
