Proposals to charge for some green waste collections in Bolton have been described as a 'garden tax'
Plans to charge up to 80,000 households £45 a year for bin collections of garden waste have come under attack. Labour controlled Bolton council say the charge would only apply to households that ‘opt in’ to have their ‘green bin’ garden waste collected.

For residents in social housing, who often have gardens provided, they will also pay the new tax too.
Unlike other types of waste, the council does not have a statutory responsibility to provide free collection of garden waste. More than two-thirds of the councils in England have already started charging for the service.
