Do we know how much this service is going to cost to run. what level of take up do the council need for it to break even?

People who garden probably compost leafy waste to a greater extent anyway, the garden waste that we need to get rid of tends to be more woody material which would make excellent fuel.
Would the money not be better spent keeping the libraries open.
