That's mad some places have to pay for the green bin. They collect ours every 2 weeks. Well not mine as it's lost in the jungle that is my garden 

 

 

Just asked the missus about ours; it's apparently 35 a month around here. I didn't actually know that you can put all your garden waste in your normal waste bin, she says. I guess the brown bin is a luxury. 

 

When her dad died, we ended up buying his house from the other siblings. Somehow they've missed that he's no longer paying. I guess they come and take the bin away when you stop paying for it. But they haven't taken it away  So it's now free  

 

Not quite how I pictured myself finally "sticking it to the man", but it's a start

here you are not supposed to throw food or garden waste in your black bin, seems like your county are a bit behind the times

 

you can take it to the recycling centre free of charge

@ratdog  It's all a bit strange around here, tbh  

 

Where I lived in the US, in a small country town in the middle of nowhere, we could literally put anything out for trash collection. The rule of thumb was, if you put a huge pile out there, or wanted anything suspect taken away - you left an envelope on your porch with a 20 each for the guys. I left cases of beer a few times. A bottle of bourbon one time  But yeah, they would take anything 

 

And then I came back to England and there was a green bin, a blue bin and an optional brown bin, plus a silly little bucket for food scraps

Thought you'd just grown your own pharmacy, it's half way up 'the man's' derriere already!

 

 

Oh yeah  I did, didn't I

A couple of weeks in a sealed plastic bag should turn the weed smell to a mouldy one.
