Title: Dumb and dumber.....
Post by: Nickbat on 30 October 2007, 22:27:13
So they're going to bring in a pay-as-you-throw rubbish charging. I'll have to stand by my bin each night to make sure no one else uses it! Last week we had a sofa fly-tipped on the street. Can you imagine the person that did that paying for his general waste? Er, no, neither can I.

I'm not saying we shouldn't, as a nation, discard less into landfills, but this way will just lead to filth everywhere.

I swear this government has lost its collective marbles.  >:( >:( >:(

The fly tipping will be massive, they send bin men around every two weeks, now pay as you throw.
Do we get any discount on our council tax, do we Bol*ocks.

I shoud not say this but................... no forget it, i will end up dropping myself in it.

I wondered where all the empty mince pie boxes came from around Newport. :D

I agree that fly tipping would increase ten fold and its bad enough now as it is.

I remember when fly tipping was a real scourge on the countryside, prior to central Council dumps and recycling plants.

The countryside is now, in the main, reasonably tidy.  This planned upcock will place us backwards at least 20 years, IMHO......

I too would have concerns about fly tipping increasing as a result in the UK.

They have had pay (by weight) general rubbish collections in Australia for a while. presumably glass and other recycling is free. Do the ozzies have fly tipping problems as a result? probably not.

here in Spain they have plenty of recycling. In towns every street seems to have those large wheeled bins (about a cu metre) of differing colours (green general, blue paper, etc). people recycle effectively. In the countryside the bins are less frequent. You get morons who just dump building rubble and general waste over the edge of roads because that is what they always used to do. Thankfully it isn't as prevalent today.

Better would be to reduce the volume of useless packaging in the first place.
