No. The law states that a tree owner cannot be held liable for fallen leaves. If you don't wish to pay for a green bin, you can compost the leaves or take them to a recycling centre. We also routinely clear leaves from public areas such as public paths, highways and parks. Consider composting We need you to use all the available kerbside recycling containers including the weekly food waste service to recycle as much of your waste as possible. This will reduce the amount of material you put in your green bin. How do I use my green bin? By far the most popular choice for kitchen bins is the pedal bin . The fact that it opens hands-free means you can use both hands to scrape the contents of plates and chopping boards straight in there, without touching the lid. Because it’s such a popular concept, there are dozens of styles to choose from, so there’s bound to be one that matches the style of your kitchen. The steel ones are particularly fashionable, a tough bin that also looks modern. However, metal pedal bins of all types remain kitchen staples. Chrome looks great anywhere, and brushed metal often goes well with the rest of the kitchen’s hardware like hobs and grills. But of course, metal bins also come painted in every colour of the rainbow, and also in printed effects like marble, if that’s your style. Composting is a great alternative to using your green and purple bins. Find out how to compost at home, join or set up a local community composting scheme. Terms and conditions
