Mr Darn Posted August 24, 2007 Report Share Posted August 24, 2007 If you do have to 'pay as you throw' people will simply stop throwing as much in the bin.this will only lead to more rubbish dumped, and more litter on the streets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like i`m going to have a few garden fires Well I would not pay, we pay enough now. It will lead to more rubbish being thrown in the street in the dark and then we will have a plague of rats.

Well I have to agree. If it's got to start somewhere, it should start with the people who package the stuff in the first place. They could try to at least use recycable materials. I know it might not be possible a lot of the time though...We should all be bothered about the amount of rubbish we produce. We cant just dump it forever... Try taking recycable materials like glass to bottle banks etc and compost your food waste. Already there's a hell of a lot less rubbish for you to have to pay to throw away!

Might have something to do with WDC owning a waste recycling business of course where you get the punters to do the cleaning and sorting and all you do is amass the "scrap" ready to be sold!
