I think you can by the bags and stickers at lots shops in the county.<br>I'd presume there are private collectors in your area also. The local governments were running radio ads advising everyone to ensure that any private collectors were properly licensed.<br>Yearly vs. weekly payments: there are supposed to be use-based charges. I think the CoCo use volume (you pay for a full bin every time you put it out), others use weight-based charges. All probably have a minimum annual charge.<br>I haven't called them very often, but I have found the CoCo to be pretty efficient on the phone (maybe I've just been lucky).Martin MurphySun, 08 Jul 2007 07:44:16 -0000http://paulmwatson.com/journal/2007/07/06/a-waste-of-paper/#comment-1282424Call them. About the only 'government' thing that we can do online in this country is pay our car tax, anything outside of that be prepared to spend a morning on the phone to sort it out. Alternatively, take a morning and go down there and watch all the lovely people queuing...ellybabesFri, 06 Jul 2007 19:24:31 -0000
