So has ours (Rother DC in East Sussex).
I am now suspicious...

As has ours (South Gloucestershire).

I'm told they've had lawyers working out exactly what kinds of waste the
council is and is not legally obliged to collect. They've found that
they're not legally obliged to collect garden waste, so they've decided
no longer to include that service in the council tax that we pay.

I'd anticipated fly-tipping of garden waste (which used to be a problem
round here before we had the green bins). I hadn't thought about the
increase in bonfires preventing washing from being hung up outdoors :-(
