Around here, they're more likely to burn me for my agitatin' on the subject of garden-waste recycling bins only being made available this year, and for a fee not included in council tax, despite their apparent rabidness on the subject of householders not putting garden waste in regular waste bins.
I asked myself a few years ago, just when did I become that kind of woman who complains about the failings of the local council. The inevitable answer was 'when I started paying attention'.
IKR! We came from Sandwell Council - the poorest in the country - who had a fortnightly collection, with no charge (and they're council tax is very reasonable). Here in the horribly overpriced Wyre Forest, they're charging extra. Because, 'not everyone may benefit from the scheme, so it is not fair to take it from council-tax funds'. Really. Lots of people in the Wyre Forest have no garden waste to dispose of? Enough that the council have developed a sense of fair play? HA WOT BOLLOCKS.

Oh good grief Charlie Brown! Even our rather feeble lot have had garden-waste recycling since before we moved here, for Om's sake!
I feel that might radically change their view of organic waste. In a number of ways.
