Dear neighbours, after various emails asking me for information about what should go in the
new grey bins I thought it would be useful to give a list of contents for the bins. We have also
requested that the company come to the village and do a public presentation of the system so
we can all be better informed. They have agreed but this will not be until after the elections.
We have also asked for stickers for all bins to make clear what can be put in each bin.
