| Surely Hounslow don't send leaves to landfill? Kingston don't; they used to have a depot where it mulched and they sold it at about £3 a bag. I went down there a couple of years ago to buy some as per their website. But it was out of date and the site had moved to Hampshire so I drove off there. What a waste of fuel etc just because their website was out of date, but they did apologise. I have an allotment and need huge amounts of leaves to make any difference and I can't collect enough on my own just for my plot. There are hundreds of plots in Hounslow and I bet between us we could take lots of lorry loads every year. London plain tree leaves are not suitable and if you collect them quickly ones on the road are OK. But no-one thinks of giving it to us, or other gardeners. I even bought a leave vacuum but still couldn't collect enough. |
