Disgusting! What will they put a tax in next? £35 a year......I don't think so! No..... I wont be paying that.......I don't always put my bin out cos there's not much in it, and in the winter hardley ever! So why should I pay £35......I'll just go back to before we had brown bins........just wondering if they're going to get us for green and grey bins! what is council tax for?

The council website said this service is optional,so if you dont pay,your bin wont be collected.And they will take away your old brown bin in the summer,!!!!!!!! We are not paying it anyway,who's with us

Who? name and shame this person who created this charge, I have a house and large garden, and accepted I paid higher council tax because of the garden. believing my garden waste was calculated in the rates on the property, before it was green, brown or grey bins and my garden waste would be removed in my dustbin, Will the council now reduce my rates? Council tax for not fulfilling their duty to remove my garden waste which they have done fore the last 40 years

Register for payment then within 14 days cancel it to annoy the council and keep a person in a job

Not read all of the comments here, but I am glad this has happened. i live in an attic flat, why should some of my council tax go towards emptying other peoples bins. If your abode is lucky enough to be furnished with a garden, that you look after yourself then £35 a year isn't much to have someone else take your waste away. If you only have a small plot, then gang together with some neighbours and get a bin between a few of you. It's not hard. It will foster neighbourly friendships.
People just can't help finding something to whinge about - again!!

Suppose I could say why should I pay for certain things through my taxes.

Sallybear, as much as I love you...... my family don't go to nursery,schools,or higher education any longer. Neither do I use the leisure centres etc. We can't really think in the way you descibe, we would end up with a terrible council administration disaster. e.g. the do's and the dont's, the will's and the wont's  off topic next: The parking fees in Mold are 20p.so how can they do it?

We wont be paying any fees to empty our brown bin. Paying enough in CT. Reading the leaflet today made me laugh, its like they have made it up as theyve gone along! Not paying.

Unless I'm missing something, why should a household without a garden subsidise those with a garden?
If you use it, pay for it.
Hence why the poll tax was probably a good idea...
