Council Bags

[Ms Hair]

Has anyone else noticed how small the garden waste bags are this year? Just wanted to get it off my chest! Sick of grass spilling all over trying to empty the lawnmower box into them! They are no cheaper either. Rip off!

They would go quite nicely into a composter if NCC hadn't put the price up three fold and started charging delivery this year

Most of our garden waste, incidentally, comes from council land anyway, in the guise of bloody brambles, which rip the bags we have to buy from the council to take them away.

In good gardening news, our raised beds are finally finished, we had our first strawberry yesterday and today our first pumpkin has raised it's little round head! Yay!

Quite agree, I heard that the garden waste goes into landfill in any case.

If possible put it in your black bin.

Instead of promoting recycling they are trying to profit from it.

Its not like we dont pay enough anyway.
