Lib Dem Campaign Success as Bulky Waste Charge Scrapped
Residents in Leeds will no longer have to pay a fee to the city council when they need to get rid of large items like furniture. This is because the Liberal Democrats (Lib Dems) have successfully pushed the city council, who were in charge of the fee, to get rid of it. This will hopefully reduce the amount of fly-tipping, which is when people leave large items on the street instead of disposing of them properly. The Lib Dems are also pushing for other changes, like making it free to get rid of DIY waste and having separate collection for glass and food waste.
