“These leaves are from a forest out with my garden – they aren’t my garden waste'
CouncilJohn McDonald believes that he shouldn’t need to pay the £40 fee to continue using his brown bin to clear up hundreds of leaves that get blown into his garden from a nearby forest.
“So, I wrote to the council asking if I could get help removing these leaves. I wasn’t looking for anything in particular like getting my garden waste removed – it was just to get rid of the leaves.“Each year, it’s about six full brown bin loads, fully compacted. I actually have to get in the bin and jump on it to get the leaves down."
According to the council, garden waste includes grass cuttings, leaves, twigs, small branches, hedge clippings, flowers, and plants.However, he claims no alternatives or recommendations were made by the local authority. As he claims the leaves aren’t his garden waste, John said he doesn’t believe he should need to pay the permit but he’s “willing” to continue getting rid of them from his garden.
