HBC, like every other council in the country, is under pressure, and will be fined, if they don't meet re-cycling quotas. Either way, people refusing to co-operate, or them not meeting their target, the result will be the same, higher Council Tax bills.

I'm totally with the Government on this. We need, and should be, re-cycling more. We are running out of landfill sites, and no one wants new ones near to where they live.

If the threat of fines mean that some people, who have no intention of re-cycling, have to participate, so be it.
