Read in this weeks D.T. Chesterfield Borough Council are considering putting forward a proposal to charge an annual fee to people for their green bin collections {garden waste}.
Whether this will spill over to include N.E.D.D.C. or not {of which I am a tenant} remains to be seen but, if it does, I and others like me shouldn't have to pay mainly because the bin collections are already calculated in the yearly Council tax and I shouldn't have to pay twice.
This could cause a few problems, basically if I HAVE to pay I { and others} will just stop using the service which means I will stop tending my garden by not mowing the grass or cutting back the hedges, this in turn will lead to the Council getting on to me for not looking after the property as per tenancy agreement, so the only alternative, apart from fly tipping, is to sneak the garden waste into the black bin.
