Various isues

Where from
The recyclable items will generally have been bought from a supermarket. So, if not collected at kerbside, next time you go shopping take the recyclable items in your boot aand dispose of them. Almost all supermarkets have recycling bins

Food
If you have to throw food away, put it in a plastic bag so flies, and they produce the maggots, cant get at it. Rinse out tins that contained beans, dog food, etc.

Rats
If you shut the dustbin lid they can't get in

Money
Council Tax only pays for 20% of the Councils spending. Almost all the rest comes from national taxation, and is allocated to Councils by Whitehall.
Landfill tax is going up every year. Dependent on where the landfill is, and other factors, it costs £50 approx to dump one family's rubbish each year.
New holes in the ground for landfill are becoming very scarce!

Please tell me what you are filling the bin with, and why NONE of it can be recycled. If you refuse to recycle anything, is it because you just cannot be bothered, do not believe that landfill sites are almost full, that incineration is not wanted, and that special hand sorting facilities would cost a fortune

At some time you, or if you are lucky, your children, will have to reduce the amount of rubbish thrown away
