I would rather not pay in my Council Tax for a Christmas tree collection. I think it is a nice gesture to collect them but I don't understand how people can think of bringing them home themselves without planning how to dispose of them and I don't think this should be encouraged. The arrangements for collection and chipping them in the parks with the family walking them there or neighbours and friends helping makes for good community spirit. Many people did this before the Council collection. They stopped when this was added free and the Council then gave themselves another cost. It just added to the selfish gotta-have-it-grab-it-and-go culture. |
