The difficulty with that comes when counting the cost. I can see it in practical terms because one of the open landfill sites happens to be in my constituency. There are registrations from every corner of the country, which means that there are other associated costs that are not counted. I am making this point without seeking a response. Those other costs include damage to roads, unsustainability, waste not being dealt with where it is collected, etc. Is the landfill levy producing a less sustainable and more costly result?
