Unfortunately there seem to be at least two meanings of compostable.
Many of the new "compostable" materials are only compostable in the
high termperatures and intensive conditions of an industrial
composting plant, and will show little degradation in an ordinary
garden compost bin. I have found this with compostable food waste
bags, which seem to persist for years at least in domestic compost.

They are prohibited by our council.

so how are you supposed to collect your compostable waste then?

The idea that people will take each item of compostable waste to the
outdoor bin individually is not going to happen

It will just lead to people putting compostable waste in the
kitchen-bin that they collect non-compostable waste

You are supposed to empty the compostable bag into the compost bin, then
put the liner into the landfill bin.

I'm sure a lot of people don't bother.

Their latest one is to bill you for taking hardcore to the tip...

in our case, it's machined timber. Like broken fence posts
