People have to pay for green waste collection in addition to their Council Tax? Blimey! All food waste goes in the same bin as garden waste. There's also a separate card and paper bin, a glass and metal bin, and a general waste bin. We are allowed as many bins of each type as we need or want. The Greater Manchester WDA put a supplement on the Council Tax, but I suppose that goes towards the running of the waste processing plants, and operation of the various tips.
