Martino. For my money, your suggestion would work for me. Pay for how much residual waste you generate, free recycling at the bring banks and the heavy hand of the law to swoop down on anyone who doesn't play ball. That attitude tho' is considered 'draconian' in Guernsey... I have been told so many times and clearly 'Eh' would agree with that. It's why there has to be so much pussy-footing about in order to try to keep people sweet! ( I would extend the 'draconian' ideas to the front end of the waste stream too.... make retailers responsible for waste that they import. Charge for all single-use plastic carrier bags etc) In other jurisdictions, kerbside collections have shown to increase levels of recycling, so that's what we need to do here, to make it easy to do and to get everyone on board. The different situations that occur in the different parishes probably need different solutions and I suspect that that is what is causing the problem. The States are so risk averse, that I think they have almost become paralysed in their attempts to find a solution that will please everyone. Of course they never will! It's bound not to be perfect- we just need to get on with something and modify it if need be.
