Pay as you throw

[Kapitan]

The bin lift will wiegh the wheelie bin that part has been discussed in my council not only that it supposed to stop the bending of the rules so to say.

However in order to do this we will need:

37 brand new lorrys all fitted with a bin lift each lorry will set you back £78,000
3 new glass lorrys each costing £56,000
The fitting of all the wieght sensors and other items £110,000

And who gets to pay it only the humble tax payer!

We buy our lorrys direct from DAF we do it in a chain so we dont replace the fleet all in one year its spread out to save money, we are due to get rid of the 1999 X reg lorrys for the brand new 06 reg ones we buy 3 or 4 at a time. to save money each lorry only lasts around 5 to 8 years due to the harsh terrain it navigats on the refuse tips.

But doing this wheelie bin idea is stupid cause only 12 of our lorrys are acctualy capible of bin work.
