Protection of the Environment Bill 2003: Committee Stage.
I am happy to say the vast majority pay their collection charges and are happy to do so. This is increasingly the case. People are pressing me for more segregated systems. Interestingly, the public has become attuned to the need for recycling, reuse and segregation and is encouraging local authorities to provide new segregated systems. We are now moving at a faster pace. The amendment would be very unfair to the vast majority who want these improvements and would see their neighbours simply do nothing and have their waste collected for free. That is not on.
