Charging for domestic waste collection has already been debated at length by the government and it seems likely that powers will be given to local authorities to make variable charging possible. I am very concerned that the results of any such move will lead to indiscriminate fly-tipping because people will not accept this additional cost when they believe it should be included in the high levels of council tax they are currently paying.
Ireland has already introduced such charges and some people have been jailed for refusing to pay their "bin tax"! |
