Another one to add to the list of  DIRECT DEBIT  charges...... whats left of the monthly bank statment to spend is getting smaller and smaller....... when will the revolt start... We must have at least 20 extra tax charges imposed on us ...that were never there or needed 25 years ago.    Report

Ah, but this is a “green tax” designed to help the environment, so that’s all right.  Seriously though Robert, I wouldn’t mind so much if it were not for the fact that Yarmouth council is so picky about what it lets you recycle.  For instance, no shredded paper, or envelopes. No Tetra Pak cartons, even though it clearly states that such packaging can be recycled.  Our household, like countless others, recycles as much as we can, but we could do more if such items could be included.  The tax will come, even though Prudence assures us that “There are currently no plans to introduce this tax”  (Operative word being “currently”)  No plans? Why run these so called “pilot” schemes then?        Report

Will that mean that charges we currently pay for disposal, ie. filling up our landscape with consumer rubbish thaty should be recycled, will be scrapped and replaced by this new charge? nevermind      Report

The whole issue could be turned around and you could get paid for you rubbish, by using rubbish as fuel to produce electricity and little need also for landfill sites........ The technology is there but refusal to use it is the stumbling block...... to the problem of waste disposal, changed for power gain. Other countries have a system of electricity from waste ..... but as usual the UK watchs from the rear. Like the Maglev, waste to produce power it will never happen here. On another level supermarkets could be forced to reduce packaging by 50% with ease and also that won`t happen either.....  Why...?   because a revenue from waste collections from the public in the future will be lost, its a money earner to the government to have your bins full for extra payment to collect, which can be increased yearly once it is introduced....... You can see it coming............    Report

(Unless of course 'they' are going to install CCTV cameras with biometric recognition systems in the wheelies).   Is it just me, or has Britain been transported to another planet recently?    Report

"Will that mean that charges we currently pay for disposal, ie. filling up our landscape with consumer rubbish thaty should be recycled, will be scrapped and replaced by this new charge?" I doubt it Nevermind. Only time will tell, but most likely it will be in addition to whatever we are paying at present. I mean, this government hasn't exactly made a name for itself giving the British tax payer a break have they, so why would this latest wheeze be any different?       Report
