Putting garden waste in the brown bin means that it has to be taken away by a truck, which is not very environmentally friendly. In some parts of the county you have to pay for this service too! Raw vegetable scraps etc. are much better composted than put in the black bin.
It is really satisfying, after a few months, to find a load of lovely crumbly brown compost to put onto the garden, and all for nothing!
The Suffolk Waste Partnership has recently teamed up with Get Composting to offer very keenly priced composting bins, along with other equipment. The lowest priced bins start at under £20.00. You can find a link to their site here.
I find it is best to have two bins so that you can be filling one up while the other one works its magic.
