It's not worth a whole sack just for a bunch of flowers, compost heap is a good option if you can but still the simple question of where to put them if you don't have a brown bin


It's going to interesting at Christmas when food caddies will all be sprouting Christmas trees too

I would put them in your food caddy. I'm sure they will disintegrate quicker than food bones etc. so don't feel guilty about an old bunch of flowers.


Putting them into a neighbours bin could be an option if you ask?


Then again, a woman was seen pulling up in her car, opening the boot and dumping loads of garden waste into a brown bin local to me so it does happen (dumping of stuff into other people's bins).

    • I'd be tempted to put up some sort of fence  to delineate the area and see what happens. Probably nothing.
    • Poundland have been there just over two years. 
    • Has anybody here bought some land from the council to become part of their garden? There are helpful guidelines on the Southwark website here including a PDF with associated costs, however the "valuation" element has absolutely no guidelines. It could be £500 or £50,000. You will already have spent £1000 on the process before finding out what they will charge you for the land - which would certainly be frustrating if it's not affordable for you. The land in question is a tiny patch immediately attached to the front of my property, approx 4 meters wide x 1 meter long. Would like to put a fence there to separate from the pavement and allow some privacy, keep the bins more tidy. The land is of no value to anybody else and is neglected currently - the council seems to have to stopped maintaining this area between the pavement and the houses on our street.
    • I suppose wind could have blown rubbish out of bins down into the pond. But I also counted three footballs and some smaller balls. Regrettably, there is also what seems to be a large dead carp or waterfowl, hard to tell at distance. I just hope the water quality is okay. I am not clear to what extent the pond is managed.
