3 Week Bins

Why should ratepayers that live “next door” to properties that have trees in their garden pay extra for green bins to clear up someone else’s tree debris?
A lot of trees in the heart of residential areas have Tree Preservation Orders on them (TPO’s) So the Council are slapping TPOs on trees and expecting residents to become proxy caretaker’s, and then expect the same people to pay for it.The Green lobby in the Council appear to have forgotten that trees annually shed their leaves, branches, acorns etc and they don’t always, if ever! fall vertically. Also, but no less important, trees grow… a lot!
I’ve already invested in a shredder and can fill at least 2 green bins a week from the autumn onwards, with someone elses’ debris.
Which at this point I have been willing to do, as being socially responsible… but charging me extra for its clearance introduces a whole new dynamic, So in the future it looks like i’ll be throwing it all on to the main road and footpaths.How many people will just put their grass cuttings in with their general waste? Nobody checks bins and this is something that i have brought up with Councillors, to little effect.
Conwy will save £390,000 a year by moving to 4 weekly collections so Wrexham should wait to see how this fares before committing to change.
I’m going to put my grass cuttings in bags stitched inside my trouser legs, dispose of it like they did in ‘The great escape’
The big stuff I can burn after dark.The comment by wrexview is not surprising fully agree with it, typical of the council we have here in Wrexham, and the exec board are about to be awarded a significant pay rise, it just beggers belief I wonder if they have a conscience, sorry they can’t have they sleep at night not worrying about us low income taxpayers.
