Re: Its Rubbish
The major incidences in the UK of fly tipping results from small businesses having to pay to dump their waste, or indeed illegal firms that are paid to take rubbish, and then dump it illegally.
I'm afraid we'll have to disagree. On such a relatively small group of islands as the UK, we are rapidly running out of places for landfill sites. If paying means we recycle more, so be it. I should also say that I think people that are found to have dumped rubbish illegally should receive heftier fines, or even prison sentences. I'm sure that would stop some of them.
Like other people have said, the sooner supermarkets and the like, realise that if their customers spending habbits are going to be influenced by how much packaging their goods come with, and the resulting cost it entails, big businesses will also follow suit.
