Pay as you throw

Kapitan · 10-05-06, 06:06 AM

Local councils are today thinking about introducing pay as you throw scheme, it would mean the whole of my area would need wheelie bins, as it stands we can do a 13 mile route in around 6 hours if they did do that and put wheelie bins on our routes we would be finnishing around 9 to 10 hours a day.

But how would they implement it ? how can they charge a block of flats? and it would make our lives alot worse.

So what would you say to pay as you throw?

By the way it wont come off your council tax !

I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about.

If I knew that anything from this would go on something that would benefit the local community then fair enough, but chances are it's going to go into the pockets of fat cat councillors and never make it down to the people who need it. So no deal.
(Plus, like you say Kap, it's making more work for the people who collect it)

There are plenty of ways to use pay as you throw. They have something like this in my town were you have to buy stickers, they have two types for the different sizes of trash bags. My brother in the next town over, they have to buy special bags for the trash men to pick up. If you don't pay for it in a fee you will pay for it in taxes anyways..

I think we will just see neighbours dumping trash in each others bins. I think the old tax system is better. This way all pays, and if you use someone else's bin doesn't matter as he pays the same in tax for it.
