Now the council are stopping the green bin to save money but they will offer a special service for the early bird price of only £50 a year to have your green bin emptied. I can't remember the last time I remembered to put my green bin out on time. I don't think I will bother. Further east I have heard that Newmarket are changing to 5 different bins very soon.
Central government cuts .....I said cuts but could have said something else ....means that green waste is the first to be charged for......it could be argued you are lucky to have a lawn and should take it to the tip yourself anyway in these hard times
