  • Garden waste collection is a £70 annual extra.

    I don’t get the reasoning for that. AKAIK councils aren’t giving discounts for only filling 1/3 or 1/2 of your waste bin, so those who do are still subsidising those who routinely fill theirs to the brim. What’s it matter then if the bin is partly filled with leaves or with packed full of fast food wrappers?

    Also, as a workaround for conscientious objection reasons, could one pay for a garden bin then allow their neighbours to use it, so it’s full year round?

    Councils are broke. They can and will charge for anything they are allowed to to try and close some of that gap. As long as it isn't politically awkward it doesn't need to make sense.
