Just heard on TV, that if labour are re-elected they are introducing a tax on the disposal of any of our household electrical items. So when you take your old toaster or kettle to the tip, you will probably have to pay a tenner to get rid of it.

I cycle past a row of wheelies every Wednesday on the way to work at pre 6am. Last week somebody had obviously come along and kicked all the night outers over, when I left work 13 hours later the bins had been emptied but any rubbish lying in the (main) road was still there !! including cans/broken bottles. And this in a cycle lane !! Think I'll get the car out and risk a puncture instead of risking bodily harm.Killemall said:Yet another dumb idea, which will only encourage more fly tipping. Where I live, we are already restricted on the amount of items we can dump in our tips. There was even a suggestion that people would be fined for leaving their bins out on non-bin days . Who will they get to police this c**p and how much will actually be saved by the time they pay some prat to come and inspect.
