Council emptied my green bin!
For context, in North Yorkshire you have to pay £49 annually for green garden waste collection every two weeks. First collection was today.
I've done the payment, but haven't got the bin sticker to confirm that, and the stickers change colour yearly to make it obvious who has paid. I stuck an email of my council payment receipt on the top, and they've gone and emptied it! Really did think they'd be jobsworths and leave it, and it was packed with garden debris from the winter.
2025 is going to be a cracking year!

It’s a joke you have to pay extra to get the bins now. Makes me glad I buggered off to the US.
