| Simon. It was originally historical and perhaps is less likely today now that many more appreciate and understand the importance of plants and greenery but there will still be people who won't think past it being cheaper and easier to just pave or deck instead so they won't need any collection at all unaware that there are and will still be drawbacks and challenges and not just to themselves. In particular I remember all the pots of dead and neglected plants that so often decorated front gardens as they obviously actually proved more of a challenge to keep alive especially when the weather was hot and dry for long periods or when residents went on holiday without making arrangements for them to be looked after. In the past I also shared trips to Stirling Road which was my preferred site to take garden waste about three times a year as I would do a round trip including other tasks or visits. |
