Yes, of the two local councils I'm familiar with, one does this
and makes a profit out of it, which is fine by me. The other one
charges £25 for a bag which lasts a year and is collected
every other week. I suspect most people just hide their garden
refuse in the regular rubbish.

It's looking like most councils will be changing the regular
refuse collection to every two weeks over the next year.
