How many LAs use wheelie bins these days? They don't need a tied plastic
bag.

Tell that to mine which slapped such a notice on my wheelie bin.

There's my LA's page on the matter.

Got the equivalent for your LA?

They don't appear to have one. They will however put a sticker on your
bin warning that they will not collect it if dust/ash is not bagged.

If yours says tied plastic bags, the next question is which is more
popular. You did say "almost every local authority" - did you actually
mean "my local authority"?

All the ones I know insist on bagging dust and ash which spans
Newcastle, Manchester and North Yorkshire to names specific ones.

It is interesting to note the wide variation of colours of bins with
green bins here being for green waste and black ones for household.
Salfords "green" garden waste bins are a hideous shade of shocking pink!

Actually my own NY is a lot less bolshy than the two major cities where
they will refuse to empty bins at the very slightest excuse.
