The question is how many bins do people have? I cannot see me not filling all of them and then what do I do with the new waste? I can fill a bin within 3 lawn mows and 3 chicken cleans. The lawns are huge. Our local council has just reduced our brownbag collection to 4 a fortnight. I can fill a brownbag with one lawnmow! So what do people do with extra stuff when the bins are full?
I have one doing it's stuff - ready in a couple of months. One just full and ready for first turn. And one half full. The first one wil not be ready before the third one is full. I can't really have any more bins.

Janeyo I'd get on to your council & say you need more collections of garden waste not less. Our council has given out large wheelie bins for garden waste which they collect every other week, I don't have one though as we don't have a lawn & manage to get most of our stuff in the two 'Dalek' type bins I have & a Bokashi bin in the kitchen. You could see if any of your neighbours would like any spare garden waste for their bins or any local allotments or just try putting leaves & a mixture of garden waste in black bin bags with some holes punched in them & leave them somewhere out of the way to break down a little until you have room in one of your bins.
