It is frightening to think we might be agreeing with anything in that rag. Perhaps people wouldn't give a stuff about the council monitoring their rubbish, openly or covertly, unless there was this underlying threat of people Actually Being Charged Money at some point in the future. Ah yes, the polluter pays.
Maybe there's a bit of fear that you, Mr Jones, will be held up as the Worst Waster in the road in the local paper and will have to pay £x for the privelidge of your disgraceful behaviour. Maybe that's why it's in the daily mail, as their readers are always obsessed with keeping up with the neighbours, worrying what the neighbours think, being taxed for things (I don't need to pay national insurance, I'm not even ill) etc.
