Why is the garden waste service chargeable?

The service is paid for by everyone who subscribes. This is fairer for other residents who do not have a garden, who choose to compost at home, or who do not want to use the service. This means they will not pay for the service through their council tax but we ensure the service is still available for those who want it.
