When I lived in bromley if you wanted garden waste taken away you had to put it in a special bag that would cost £1 each this was to pay for having it taken to some composting site. I cleared my overgrown garden into these expensive bags as it was a smoke free zone and we were not allowed to burn stuff either. A few months later it came out in the papers that bromley council were sending the "compost" bags to a landfill along with all the other rubbish. I wrote to them they never gave my money back though :(
I'm now in medway where we dont have wheelie bins and have to use black bags out in the street so the foxes get to have a messy rummage once a week :?

On the subject of bin contents..... our neighbour obviously didn't read the blurb when the council introduced recycling bins. We can only put plastic bottles, paper, card and tins in them. No yoghurt cartons or other plastic products. Next dorrs bin was overflowing with carrier bags full of stuff.... they even had a plastic childs seat on the bin once! I've noticed this doesn't happen now, so I guess they have been warned!
We have fortnightly collections, but we buy so little packaged goods that we only put the recycle bin out every month. The other one only gets about half full in a fortnight.
If you don't buy junk, you won't need to throw it away.
