The previous mindless jettisoning of waste materials simply won't work with the worlds growing population who are all increasingly copying out consumer lifestyles. Linear economies + finite resources= eventual shortages and price rises. Time to stop being so selfish with those finite resources. Glad that you at least admit that it is YOUR refuse. Sadly tho', despite acknowledging that it IS your rubbish, you don't think it should be you that deals with it in a manner that will minimise costs to the community you live in. Not the actions of someone who is aware of their civic responsibility..... in my opinion. As I said before, it is people like you that will cause our waste costs to be considerably higher than they need be. pb Falla.

At the end of the day a crazy amount of money gets wasted purely due to nimbyism. The whole island is a farce, not just the waste strategy. Its about time people were TOLD what there will be kerbside recycling and if they don't like it move somewhere else. Well put.

The great re cycling myth is one of the biggest modern day cons which people have fallen for,there is one reason for recycling and thats because companies are making big money out of it.

In Basingstoke ( one of the sites visited by our previous States) two bins are collected on a weekly basis, but all Glass has to be taken to the recycling depot, or the supermarket such as Sainsburys as we do here. This system has been working successfully for years now.If we were to use bins, then the charge should be free,and those who are obliged to use special disposable bags, will pay say, a pound each for them at source. Just use some common sense. Yes Islander, I remember those days. This system worked well.
