Re: Pay as you throw

We should all be encouraged to recycle, if we care at all about tomorrow, and the world we leave for future generations.

The fines/rewards, and charging for how much non-recyclable refuge we produce, will be totally unworkable.

It will result in a massive increase in fly tipping, as well as people dumping their rubbish in other people's bins.

In my opinion education about why all of us should want to recycle, should be the way forward.

I agree. The current situation is that it is supposed to be flattened and tied up, and left propped next to the other rubbish to be recycled.

Many people complain that at present it isn't collected, and very often becomes a soggy mess in the rain, or blows away.

Perhaps we should be issued with a designated sack for cardboard as well.

Argos is the worst offender the amount of cardboad the send is nothing short of a scandal, most of their flatpack stuff comes from China and do them inscrutible beggars know how to pack stuff. In a bit there will be no trees left to make this chipboard packaging from, it's time they got some crap publicity, Mc Donalds has been pilloried for long enough and they are trying their best to keep it down.

How much money will HBC make from selling on recycled material? There is no way they are doing this at a loss just to keep some Whitehall manderin happy.

I wonder if those Mandarins along with Hyndburn Council, are going to start recycling their crap, or are they going to pay fines with our money?

Pay the fines out of your council tax payments. I have more chance of being on the next flight to the moon than that lot sticking their hands in their own pockets. :mad:

As recently highlighted in an article in the Onbserver, thanks to my goodself, no trade waste in Hyndburn is currently recycled, nor is that even possible, even if people wish to do so. This also applies to all the reams of paper, and other waste, produced in council offices and buildings.

A case of do what I say, not do as I do.

At least cardboard is very easy to recycle. I would rather see cardboard used instead of plastic packaging.
