"people with children produce more rubbish??? They choose to have children and the associated costs of having children"

Yeah! I wish some bugger had told me how big that cost would be :-)

Surely the extra rubbish is mainly disposable nappies here and baby food packaging. There's an answer to reducing all of that, so I see no arguement there.

One of our neighbours doesn't pay the bin charges, but she doesn't get her rubbish collected. She returns all packaging to the manufacturers (which she is entitled to do under European Law) and recycles as much as possible. The rest she saves up and takes to the landfill herself and pays for it by the car load, which she obviously makes sure is full.
