I have had enquiries from constituents in Odessa and Palermo Roads about green bin collections. At the moment, like roughly 40% of households in Brent, they don't have green bins to put their organic waste in. The Council will give them bags for it, but the bag service is inferior since you can't put cardboard in.
It is all the more frustrating given that the Council are threatening to fine people who don't use the green box service, but they won't give organic waste recycling to people who ask for it.
The underlying reason is that the Council hasn't bought enough disposal capacity for this kind of waste. This means that if they collect it, they won't be able to recycle it. I hope to be able to change this in next year's budget. What do people think? Should increasing the number of streets covered by the green bin service be a good idea?
