CRUMBRIA: 21.6.2026
JUST when you thought that the Lib Dem Green Bin Tax couldn’t get any worse, listen to this…
Wokemoreland & Farcical Council says its will, er, repossess your green bin if you haven’t signed-up to its £60 garden waste collection service.
Later this year, those who haven’t coughed up will be deemed to have an “unwanted” green bin, the Council’s words – not ours.
The Council (below) is telling residents: “Garden waste bins still at households that haven’t subscribed for a garden waste collection will be collected and removed.”


The Chronic is trying to conjure up a mental image of what happens if a householder simply says: “No.”
Are we looking at an SAS-style intervention as bearded brutes in balaclavas descend from a whirly bird to extract the hostage from your garden?
The Council is also warning that anyone who needs a new green bin will be getting a smaller version.
“Expect changes to bin sizes or containers,” the Council says suspiciously.
Surprise, surprise, anyone needing an extra green bin – because the one the Council’s given them is not as large as the “classic” version – will have to stump up £25!
From June 29 – a week today – any green bin without the sacred Council sticker will be left sulking at the kerbside as the bolshie Council slams shut the sign-up window.

All of this pissing about with bins can be directly traced back to the Lib Dem dictatorship’s crackpot mission to achieve Net Zero by 2037 – a ridiculous 13 years before the UK Government.

W&F Council makes 7.5m bin collections annually, which has long been a source of carbon emissions (and political embarrassment).
The Council has made made no secret of its frankly looney ambitions to be “at the forefront of tackling climate change”.
It’s as clear as balls on a bulldog that the new low-emission eco-friendly bin lorries it is eyeing up obviously can’t lift the old bin sizes.
Lib Dems in Kendal are also desperate to flex their eco muscles to voters ahead of the crucial Council elections next May.

The Green Party is strong in ye olde grey town and could threaten the Lib Dem stranglehold over the Council.
And the devoted cult members of the Tim Farron Fan Club, absolutely won’t be having any of that!
