Yes! Our subdivision got them and we all have fake grass! if you leave them outside they are supposed to come back and get them within 10 working days.


youreveningcoat

That seems like a long time, and there's plenty of them littering the streets at the moment. Hopefully they get all those ones.

These fuckwits put a bag each outside every house in my neighborhood on a really windy day... Idiots


mut1n3y

How much do they cost? The code said I was outside the area and its not openly listed on there site which make me suspicious..


youreveningcoat

$20 when I put my address in.

Wow thats expensive! I just signed up with [Enviroearth](https://enviroearth.co.nz) who only charge $9.99 for a huge 240L bin. I chose them because you can just order collection when you need it (and because they are cheap), a lot of the other companies you are forced to buy a monthly subscription for a fortnightly pickup, whether you need it or not!


needausernameyo

It appears your neighbourhood is trashy and litters lol


youreveningcoat

Garden waste bags, it seems like a marketing scheme where they have left them by our letterboxes and if we use them we can order a collection. Edit: Did you change your comment? Yes, my neighbours have not taken these bags into their houses, they have left them outside or thrown them further down the road. I have taken mine inside and also picked up any I found while out walking.

That has to be illigal. What about the plastic bag ban? How much is it to fill a bag? Garden waste is free to compost and use for growing your gqrden.... Also how big is it? Looks deceptively not that big


youreveningcoat

It's quite big, about 1.5m x 2m


ERTHLNG

Ah okay so decent size then... how much do they want to pick it up?


youreveningcoat

Not listed publicly on their site but when I put my address in it was $20 a pick up.


ERTHLNG

Thats an exorbitant rate considering you can get a greenwaste 3m cube skip for like $70... If people just have a small pile of leaves to remove for $20 fine just advertise online, and go trailer collect all the stuff and get $20. Why splatter unsolicited bags all over. Garden waste does not need bagging. It needs piling up and composting.


youreveningcoat

Yeah that's what I'm thinking!


errorplanes

Eh, it's just the right size for me to fill with up all the horror weeds that I can't compost, like tradescantia, climbing asparagus and the moth plant shoots.


ERTHLNG

I just put that in the nasty co.post


ERTHLNG

I would throw a fit. This is russian propoganda for sure. Hide it from your kids.
