There needs to be some guidance from central government on where meeting recycling targets fits in the overall picture of the current financial cuts. If there is to be a 40% reduction in spending, as we are told, then can we afford to spend scarce resources making sure the right things are put in the right box. Surely the first priority must be to empty the bins, not to put stickers on them.

I'm all for recycling, but only when we can afford it.
