Re: Rubbish & chips

Our bins here are chipped. Bin charges were introduced at a flat €180 per year. Now the bins are weighed everytime they are emptied and we get charged for what we dispose of plus a €4 euro charge for each pick-up. Last year our bin charges were just €80. The recycling green bin is collected for free.

When the flat charge was in place everyone put their bins out every week. Now most people put them out every two or three weeks. Just like the plastic bag tax it's had an effect.

Some people choose to stockpile their rubbish and take it straight to the landfill themselves and so don't have the bin with the chip.

Everyone should pay proportionally for the rubbish they produce. If everyone stopped buying products with too much packaging the manufacturers would soon stop over packaging things. Most packaging is necessary and is only there to make things look good on the shelf.
