And depending where you are, tags for bins containing recycled material are significantly cheaper than 'grey' bins for landfill.Originally posted by cailin maith View Post
Furthermore there are no property taxes in Ireland (like Council Tax) only property transaction taxes (stamp duty).Comment

True, but nobody ever bought tags from a legitimate source around where I was living. You just slipped the bin lorry driver 20 euros for a handful of tags. Of course it wasn't long before the service was being bemoaned as being uneconomical. That's not mentioning the tag thieves as well...Originally posted by cailin maith View PostComment

I've just moved from Oxfordshire to Berkshire. In Oxfordshire the weekly recycling collection picks up most things apart from glass. I recycled probably about 90% of all my waste.
In Berkshire, they don't recycle cardboard and plastic. These are the two main materials for any packaging. The result is, I am now recycling about 20% of all my waste.
My point is, if the service is there, people WILL use it. Provide the service, don't penalise the public...

Either pay extra to have your rubbish removed or pay the fine...
Now, let's introduce a little competition here...
Why not set up a company that collects household waste...
