where would you put your pumkin?
Now I know im not with HBC but I think from previous threads they are all similar .
Now I put my cardboard ,garden clippings,veg peelings etc into my green bin on orders from the council ,now halloween has past and here i am left with 2 pumkins ,so today were green bin collection day and so I popped the pumpkins into the green bin as i do with my veg peelings after all its a vegatable isnt it? Guess what ? they havent emptied my green bin because of the pumkins being in there , so can anyone tell me just where do pumkins go then? They are staying there for the next two weeks and i will just carry on putting my green waste on top but either way , they will take my pumkins away |

Re: where would you put your pumkin?
How stupid.
That's the whole point of the green bins. The pumpkins are bio-degradable. Phone them up and give them hell. If they aren't emptied the next time, inform them that you've put a witche's curse on them.

Re: where would you put your pumkin?
Pumpkins are a vegetable aren't they? Of course they should go with garden waste. It hasn't been cooked so it's equal to spud peelings and carrot tops.
I won't have a problem with mine. It's going with the non-recyclable because I don't have a green bin. According to HBC I don't have a garden so don't get a bin for garden waste - don't ask me what that tree at the front of the house is growing in but according to HBC it isn't a garden.

Go into HBC's offices and recycle them all about the building. Deny all knowledge, because you don't have a garden.

Re: where would you put your pumkin?
pmsl garinda ..well I do have a broomstick instead of a brush to sweep my kitchen floor so maybe I will give that a try haha .
yes willow they are a veg and i would have thought it is exactly the same as veg peelings , but according to these green fingered binmen " sorry its not on the list " what actually gets me is that if its not bad enough being chipped ,they are actually looking in my bin as well . I will as i say be leaving them there for next pick up and if they still fail to take it i will be really complaining ..... will wheel the bin to the bloomin council myself lol |

Re: where would you put your pumkin?
Do your council not provide compost bins?
We do in Hyndburn, I'll give them that. (Please note my praise here for HBC.)

Re: where would you put your pumkin?
You could cut out the middle (wo)man and just chop and flush but I don't want to be held responsible for any bunged up loos.
