I personally think they will try to visit my colelctions and tell them to use a company for oil collections, so they backhandedly stop me making bio - so they can cover themselves

Tell them to do one, they've probably no right under data protection regs anyway, throw GDPR at them that will send them into a proper meltdown.

I've told them I'm not happy to give them any details and thinking about it, only 1 is within the borough anyway

tell them you can't share any details because it's covered by the data protection act?

I'm sure there'll be something in the data protection act saying it's fine to share details in these circumstances... but it seams like "data protection act" is the get out of jail free card councils like to use themselves... they don't understand it and they're scared of it.

I'll definitely use GDPR as you and Richard suggest if they ask me again. I just think it's a little pathetic when they can't find an issue with me making bio to go down this route

Can’t believe that they want addresses! Takes the piss.
But then again the councils I have lived in or worked for are a bunch of fascists!
Hope you sort it out mate.

what a crazy world, big red f'in fire brigade truck round my house this afternoon to ask about my bio making. Nice guys who were obviously just following what they were told to do. What a waste of time, money and their fuel!!

Last time I had the fire brigade around (5 years ago) they were coming to see my bonfire.  Locals thought the school we're near to was on fire (it's a wooded area so not obvious where smoke is coming from).  They were fine with it, I got some friendly advice on not burning wet vegetation that I already knew, heh.
