Business rubbish
Oct 14, 2003, 20:19
Businesses *do* pay for their rubbish to enter the system. All companies in Dublin have stickers, which they pay for, which must be on every black bag put out for collection. If the sticker ain't there it don't get collected.

Households get given green bags.

In Germany they have had systems like this for years. Rubbish will only be collected in special bags, which cost something like a tenner to buy. They also operate heavy duty separation schemes by the household.

This tax is not the issue people should be concerned with. It is probably the backhanders that will be involved in securing the contracts for the incinerators, when the money should be spent on greater recycling initiatives instead.
