Good idea, I just caught a Heron and I`ll stick it to the bin. Erm.. but what do I do with all my waste if they don't empty my bin?. feed it to heron?.
There should be a whole new bunch of jobs going. 'Bin Police', or will it mean that the already employed waste collectors, will be getting more dosh, because the job despcription has changed, and they will have more power and authority over us? Moonstar is quite correct!

Alternitvely, don't fill the green bins up with kitchen waste, get the compost bins back into action. Encourage the local rats and mice back, they will have feast on the menu.
Let's look after our wildlife, they need us!

It's a stealthy way to increase the council tax without actually increasing it directly. Best thing to do is dump it in the green bin, it will rot soon enough anyway, no harm done. I suspect Wirral council will start spot checking bins every so often and fine people.
They missed a bin collection at my mate's house two weeks ago. They have only ever missed a collection a couple of times due to the snow. Seems like they are blatantly not collecting bins. My parents are not paying for the collection anymore. Only 1,000 of 30,000 set up have signed up.
Now that Wirral council has decided [above our head ] to CHARGE for garden waste [brown bin] ,my brown bin has been put outside for the last 6 weeks without ever being emptied, ONE MORE FRIDAY to go...before their deadline..PAY TO REMOVE , when I phoned which cost me /an arm and a leg ' I got a UN=INTERERESTED person saying ...ohhh just put bin out again ..STOP. THINK PEOPLE ..COUNCILS WHERE SET UP ORIGINALLY TO SUPPORT THE LOCAL VILLAGE/TOWN ..NOT HAVE 'AWAY DAYS' IN OTHER COUNTRIES JUST TO TWIN US? WAKE UP WIRRAL ..WE ARE BEING CONNED BY A MINORITY! [dont worry to much about who wins or doesn't thats why they make tv programmes like Downton Abbey] know your place!and dont forget!
35.00 per year its a complete joke,30.00 if you pay online.I take mine to bidston waste.
Save £10 on your brown bin collection. £5 discount paying online, and only £20 for a second bin. Providing the council dont take the brown bins you could arrange with neighbour to have their brown bin as the second bin.Would just mean putting them both outside your house every fortnight.
Well these postings have made me laugh re brown bin, as for me I will be composting away and as someone else suggested turning the brown bin into a water butt once I've worked out how to do it I've got a spare green bin without a wheel. My back is going to look like a scrap yard for unwanted council bins
my front looked like a junk yard for bins 4 brown ones 3 green ones & 3 grey ones all rotten & stinking got council to shift them when I moved in they gave me a green & grey one but I said no to a brown one as I knew the stupid bin tax was comming in.I am now waiting to borrow oscarpops lawnmower so I can cut my grass & its going in the green bin
I wonder what they did with the 10 bins they took from yours. At least you wont have to make a decision what to do with the extra brown bin. I can see the bin men will be spending a lot of time checking what we have sneaked into the green bin
