Well, I made a big effort this weekend to get everything I could, from
the winter's accumulation, into the two green wheelie bins we have paid
for, by putting everything through the shredder, which made a huge
difference for some types of waste. I still wound up with a few bags,

If it's just green waste then compost it or use it as mulch. No
bonfire needed, no bins.

so I thought I'd nip round to the tip with them. 45 minutes of queuing
later, the only movement was due to cars pulling out of the queue and
turning around. All the other cars I could see were stacked with green
bags. I pulled out and turned around as I couldn't spend the whole day
waiting just to dump a few bags.

I'm guessing quite a few people had the same problem, as there's a
distinct tang of bonfire smell in the air tonight. The whole saga is
starting to shape up as predicted. I can't really sympathise with
people who are too tight to shell out 30 quid for a green bin
(presumably there are concessions) but it's hard to see how clogging the
roads with people queuing for the tip and filling the air with smoke is
a big leap forward.

I've a feeling I'm going to become well versed in bonfire technology
this summer!
