Good evening,
I don't see any reason for bin collections to be reduced anywhere. The refuse companies are paid to do this job and no other. They have no extra duties because of covid 19.
We have grey bins (landfill) blue bins (recycling) and green bins ( garden waste). As far as I know they are all being collected but I don't have a green one, think they are £50 a year all year. Then they have the cheek to sell our own rubbish back to us as bags of compost. Don't buy them either, no need. I compost everything, grass cuttings, hedge trimmings weeds after they have wilted, all vegetable matter from the kitchen uncooked. I don't have much use for it now at home but last year took about 20 bags down to the garden I look after twice a week as a soil improver, heavy clay.
I did have a green cone for cooked waste but I think the little microbes you put in to start it burgered off to spain. It never worked, just drove the rats mad trying to get in it . They can chew through the plastic but the chicken wire round the outside defeated them so they ate the poison blocks instead.
If you have allotments nearby I would contact them to take any garden waste for you. You are allowed out for a walk once a day, no reason why you shouldn't take the wheelbarrow with you.

PS, also put all shredded paper, egg boxes etc on the compost. Just pruned the apple trees, that's all been shredded and added to give a bit of texture to the compost. Can't add photo's on my tablet but my compost bin is 8ft sq and 3ft high so lots of it.
