Just a few? At least one a week and more, if I can manage it.
It was the previous government who introduced the laws on 'bin tax' but in 2010 Eric Pickles planned to scrap the laws. So, it would be interesting to know how far that has proceeded. Is it legal or illegal? If it is illegal, then once again it shows how dim and uninformed our local council is! Even to include it in the survey, which they now blame for the result.

Wouldn't it be strange if everybody on Wikiwirral who objects to this brown bin tax, turned up at exactly the same time at the Town Hall with their bins, to give them back?
Obviously this would be as a good will gesture, to save the Council money not having to collect them.
I've paid it because for £35 I can't be arsed with the hassle.
Brilliant pic of taking it on the bus though, I did chuckle... But really... Is it worth the effort?
If you're like me you'll share an alley with a neighbour, I said to mine he can use my bin we only have small gardens. He will pay the £35 next year if it comes to it.

Councils are Corporate Businesses. Originally set up by the towns business men, to keep order and allow for the smooth running of their towns businesses and keeping their vested interests served. These organisations grew and became tax collecting instruments both for the treasurary and to keep the local corporate council funded. Everyone became a stakeholder (shareholder) by the rules these bodies made, after being given the power to do so by STATUES in Parliament. A stakeholder in any corporate business is entitled to vote for members to represent them at the boardroom (or Cabinet).
Wirral borough Council has a Corporate Plan. (check WBC web site). Wirral borough Council can be held responsible for Corporate Manslaughter.
Before Wirral borough Council, their used to be Wallasey and Birkenhead Corporations, now amalgamated and change of name.
And yes I find it amazingly disgusting that there are have been and are ongoing cuts to Centers that deal with people with leaning difficulties, whilst Councilors and and staff get free lessons on how to handle the Media( this might make thing easier to tell lies for them) and I also hear of new IPads for the same at yours and those with learning difficulties expense.
? Can I put garden waste in the green wheelie bin? We encourage residents to recycle their garden waste were possible. This can be achieved through the collection service or if you choose not to subscribe you may consider home composting and waste can also be taken to any of the household recycling centres in Wirral.
As a last option, some garden waste can be placed in the green general waste bin. However, the Council’s existing rules on presenting bins for collection will still apply. The Council will review its decision not to ban small quantities of garden waste from the residual waste collection on a regular basis to ensure the waste collection system does not become abused as a result of too much garden waste entering the system. However, a ban may become necessary in the future if waste related problems arise.
Bins must be presented on collection day with the bin lid closed, and no side waste should be presented; additional bagged waste will not be collected. Should residents not follow these rules their bin will not be emptied.
If you choose to add garden waste to the green general waste bin, it is important that you still have room for your general waste.
The collection crews will also continue to monitor grey recycling bins for contamination (the wrong items placed in the recycling bin). Contaminated bins will not be emptied and the Council will initiate enforcement action on any household that presents grey bins containing any amount of garden waste.
I am going to breed Herons in mine and they then can't empty it so they can not charge me. ha ha ha.
