Its important that we all reduce the amount we send to landfill recycling is just part of this,we do put far to much valuable materials in our black bins most households will cope very easily once they start to recycle, think about it whats left to put into the black bin. Many of us have been doing it for years by useing the recycle sites around the area I understand the three or four pilot sites have been very successful. I would guess that only those who dont care for the environment or just dont want to recycle will be the ones who could be punished, but they do have a choice.
My next door neighbour fills the bin to the point where the bin lis cannot close. The bin still gets picked up by the bin man. I thought that they did not take your bin if the lid is not flat dowm?
Schools inspector Marguerite Kramer, 59, says she was intimidated in her home by a council snooper after taking newspapers to a supermarket recycling bin.
She said she was made to “feel like a dangerous criminal” by one of Britain’s new army of recycling officers, dubbed “the Talibin”, who accused her of fly-tipping.
She said she felt scared when he turned up on her doorstep, telling her an old address label found near the bins linked her to a bag of newspapers that had not been properly disposed of.
Ms Kramer, an Ofsted inspector, insists she has done nothing wrong but now faces a £75 fine for alleged fly-tipping.
The row comes after it was revealed householders who put out “too much” rubbish face harsher punishments than shoplifters and drunken louts, including £110 on-the-spot fines.

By recycling we implicitly admit that "waste" is reused. Therefore it must replace "new" material.
Therefore money is saved in so far as the council receives this new raw material for no extra cost than it used to throw it away.
Will the council pass on the saving that it makes?
Will punishment (fines etc) be levied against those who overfill their bins or who leave them out early?
How will the council prove that it is the owner of the bin who overfills and not a "nasty neighbour"?

Some bin men use common sense our bin men go the extra mile to help us.
People need to be forced to follow the new rules and get on with it.
If you have any problems with the bin men or awkward residents just send for me they will be sorted.

Taylor's got one
Number crunching:
£110 maximum fine recommended by the government for those who over fill their wheelie bins.
£75 on the spot fixed penalty for littering.
This makes it more economical to dump your excess waste on the street.

Put Cath Piddington in a wheelie bin and see how long it takes the council to take her away.
