The government seem to have done a -u- turn on the idea of charging households for the rubish they throw away, by allowing councils to carry out this policy if they want. I think that "Pay as you throw" is a good idea as it would encourage people to recycle more, and cut down the amount of waste they produce.
However this policy must only be introduced if people get a reduction in there Council Tax bills, and measures are introduced to stop other households from dumping their rubbish into your bin. The government must also get to grips with producers of goods so that their packaging is reduced as domestic waste only amounts to some 9% of the total going to landfill.
