It may help you guys, but where I live we are going to have an incinerator built (which no one wants), and we will have to import rubbish to keep it going as it has to go 24 hours a day and we don't produce enough locally to do this.I strongly suspect that recyclabes will be burnt in it to feed its voracious appetite.
I am seriously considering NOT recycling as the council has effectively smacked us all in the teeth.
Nobody wants it. The council have rejected thousands of objections, ignored most of the waste inspectors report and signed a deal with one waste contractor whose only option was incineration before any public inquiry.
This is not a decision I have taken lightly. Why should I recycle to make the councils figures look good? I know that may sound selfish, and I don't like doing it.
It's a bit of a con anyway. Most councils take glass and metals, heavy items to show that they have recycled a great many tonnes but plastics (not bottles but packaging) many won't take.
I am also aware of the planet and global warmimng but we are conned there too. Taxed on fuels to "Help the environment" and then made to breathe dioxins from chimneys of incinerators. I don't deny global warming but it's a great revenue earner.
Sorry for the rant. But I don't think it will do much here is my conclusin.
