Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!

What has everyone done with their old garden waste hessian sacks - are they recyclable or do they go into the general rubbish bin?

I tried searching around the Council website and I could not find anything.

If anyone has use for them, please let me know.

I've hung on to mine, and a neigbours. If you've signed up for a new council garden waste bin I can see you won't need them.

I recently did some well needed garden maintainance and ended up 14 full bags! three trips to the recycling centre. I wont be getting rid of my bags, really useful when you need them. You could offer them to a school, or someone on the HOL gardening group.

If I had a car then I would have used them for trips to the tip but I am forced to sign up for the sack service :( 

So yes, anyone reading - if you want them they are yours.

I really don't want to throw them away for them to end up in landfill.

All I can say is that the hessian bags are far superior to the plastic option. It takes a lot longer to fill the plastic bags as they get broken by twigs etc and as for rose clippings forget it.

Why plastic? Bring back the hessian!!!

I received my sacks this week and thought they did not look robust enough to handle twigs or anything spiky - or usual garden waste really. 

Maybe the plan is to frustrate us all so we cave in and pay the £75 for a bin we'll use four times a year. 

Exactly!

Hi Lou

I'd be interested if you still have them?

Thanks

Fiona

Hi Fiona - sorry I did not get back to you earlier. They are all yours.

I am probably out of your way (near Chestnuts) but if you are on the ladder I can drop by or meet you half way. I have to head to Holloway Road tomorrow, so need to head to a 29 Bus stop. I have two sacks.

Whatever is easy.

If you don't have a use for them you can offer them up on your local #ilovefreegle.org members arrange mutually convenient times to pick up. Offer and/or request just about anything so long as it's free and legal. Hope that help

Regards

Liz
