In my county there is not much incentive to recycle. I recycle as much as I can – newspapers, bottles, plastic and batteries. I live in a rural area and I put it in my car and bring it to the dump. There is a cost to me but I am prepared to meet it. There is no encouragement to help me meet that cost. If the charge were on the amount of waste I produce rather than a one off charge irrespective of whether I fill my bin every week, there would be more of an incentive.
