Ealing Council asked people to help in recycling and have now turned one of the categories, namely garden waste, as a separate

chargeable item at £40 a year.

This is an additional charge to the service I received in refuse collection. How then can the council claim that the council tax has been frozen for the fourth year.?

It has not. Council tax has gone up by the extra charge for refuse disposal. Next year it is possible they will charge separately for disposal of plastics.
