REVENGE OF THE BIN MEN
It used to be so simple: you put out your rubbish and the bin men took it away. Not any more. War has broken out between the people who are putting out too much rubbish and the councils whose job it is to dispose of it all. As landfill space runs out and the government increases recycling targets, town halls across the country are getting tough about recycling, fly-tipping and litter. They’re tracking down bin delinquents and making them pay. And the public are fighting back. This Cutting Edge film follows the men and women on both sides of the battle.

I completely agree with the old man that spoke on tonights programme. How can they possibly think that reducing the size of the bin will reduce household waste? It’s as good as saying that if you had no bin at all, you would have no waste!!! Most of us do all the recycling we can and having smaller bins would make no difference to our non recyclable waste. It is unfair that it is down to us to change, rather than the manufacturers who insist on extra packaging when not needed!
