    blimey, for the same bins in Bexley, Blackwall are charging more than double! They take absolutely ages to deliver too. Up to 6 weeks!

      Hmm this is odd cos in warwickshire they are £5 for the 330ltr & £15 for the 700ltr ! Mine came within 2 weeks. I'm trying to get a couple of my neighbours to have some so I can have the extra's

        Oh dear, and I thought they were really good value

        I would like to know why the council don't give them away to reduce landfill or give a discount on rates depending on the quantity you have

          Hi PC. I asked about the pricing and apparently they are bought by the council (using the landfill tax) and we only pay for carriage. Seem fair and the prices I quoted were last October/November so they may well have gone up. The 330lt ones normally sell for about £50 !!! so not a bad price whatever we pay.

            Highland Council offered compost bins for £5 last year but underestimated quantities quite severely - our town was only issued with 72 bins for 4200 households !

              Our council doesnt do any offers on composters because we have brown bins for glass and compostables so the council can get free compost instead of us getting our own free compost grrrrrrrrrrr

                I don't have one but most people in my village pay about £30 a year to have brown bins and get them emptied.

                Thanks ntg, it''s nice to know that. Think I'm going to be getting 3 if there are enough.

                  We got issued with our brown bins last year -= supposed to be emptied every second week but it seems to be rather hit or miss. To their credit, if they miss your bin/bins, they will come and collect next day if you call them. We don't pay any extra for these bins - unless it's hidden in our Council Tax

                        Shetland Islands Council are really into composting - I got one wooden bin and two extensions for £5 each - mind you I had to queue for ages. I also got a duff plastic one for nothing (I just dug it ino the ground!)

                        Because I work with this crowd, our staff kitchen now has a Bran composter for all the T-bags etc. I thought there would be a great long list of people after the compost - so far I am the only one

                        At long last a work perk

                            preston city council do the same they collect every 2 weeks
                            the only problem is our general waste is attracting loads of flies and makes quite a stink in the hot weather
                            we pay our council tax for them to collect our garden waste which they then compost and then sell it on making more money out of us cheeky buggers

                              I hope there is an uproar if they keep on doing that when they bring in the proposed new charges for refuse!
