TheArtfulDogger Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 I'm confused With the new brown bin policy, if you can't put garden waste into your food caddy, and you don't have a brown bin then where do you put cut flowers after they die ? Can anyone help Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/242766-recycling-flowers-brown-bin-question/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
edcam Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 If you don't have a brown bin you're supposed to buy the brown sacks from the council. I know, incredibly big backward step there from Southwark council. Most people will just put everything in the green bins, therefore more landfill.

hammerman Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 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).

nxjen Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 I seem to remember seeing something on a leaflet put through the door by the recycling team that it was OK to put cut flowers in the kerbside food caddy. Of course, the leaflet has long since gone in the blue recycling bin.
