Getting rid of weed waste
Discussion
As a rule I don't compost weeds because of the seeds.
What kind of weeds are they? according to my waste wall chart our local council supplies us with you can't put them in the glass wheelie bin, or the tins wheelie bin, same for the cardboard wheelie bin.
We have a grass cutting wheelie bin but I assume that is for grass and not garden waste, you could always try it's only a small fine

Eh? Its not a grass bin, its a garden waste one. Or at least it is at both of my houses (different councils 100 miles apart!) I would either - put it in the normal bin, put it in the garden waste bin or burn it.
If you don't want to compost it or smuggle it in with your household waste, buy some garden refuse bags/sacks from B&Q etc and when they're full, take them to the tip. It's called 'green waste' and councils chop it up, compost it and sell it back to you as compost/mulch. One of the few useful things that councils do.

Don't give them ideas, I really don't need another wheelie bin, the place looks like a wheelie bin distribution yard as it is.I would either - put it in the normal bin, put it in the garden waste bin or burn it.
Your local council will have a garden waste "green" area at the dump.
Bag/sack it up and take it to them and they turn it into compost.

Sounds like hell of a lot of effort, I might just take it back to Wales and fly tip it at my parents place.
Or buy a compost bin and then you don't have put bagfuls of weeds in your car.Beeter still, sell the house and buy an upstairs flat so you don't have to tackle such perplexing issues?
If it's from the garden, it goes in our brown wheelie bins. Weeds, trees, dog poo, dead pidgeon, foodstuff stuff from the kitchen too.
Small bins (x3) for recycling, normal wheelie bin for rubbish.
It's no wonder I can't move for bloody bins!
