| Hello Arthur They do seem to be starting to be opened up all over the country with social distancing and other guidelines and not for everything it seems: https://www.ealing.gov.uk/news/article/1990/rubbish_and_recycling_update Maybe it is worded differently somewhere else. I know what you mean about how much more that ivy seems to be when pulled off the building and forced into an old white plastics recycling bag or two. When I last decided to cut plants back for a new fence I tried to find a garden shredder to hire but failed. Pyracantha (fire thorn) is particularly painful to cut down and bag up.) The shredder makes a lot of difference in volume if you have a lot - and would be a good item to share (who wants to fill up space with a rarely used machine). Do you have any neighbours who are not doing any major gardening work that have space in their garden waste wheelie bin or bags? How about a share and a swap of some sort? I too tend to just do one visit a year if that with garden waste. Sometimes I've shared a trip with neighbours. Incidentally it is International Composting Week this week and some Councils have reduced price composters, water butts and accessories on offer. I wouldn't be composting ivy though. Ealing apparently has an arrangement with getcomposting.com but I haven't price matched to check whether it is worth it. The website is accessible through the www.ealing.gov.uk. http://www.lesswaste.org.uk/2020/05/03/international-compost-awareness-week-2020/ https://getcomposting.com/composters/ |
