We have had a huge problem with the issue of charges, particularly in Dublin where certain political parties have hijacked for political purposes the fact that people are now required to pay for waste removal. Their motives have nothing to do with the good of the environment or of the people who produce the waste. These parties have used people's fears to score political points, but it is not working. Since wheely bins were introduced, the streets have been cleaned up. On estates in the suburbs, the bins can be seen outside houses on collection day. The vast majority of people have no problem with paying to have their waste removed. They realise that we will reach a point at which charges will be imposed according to the weight or volume of waste, which is an encouragement to begin to recycle. If my children see me throwing out a newspaper, they point it out to me as a result of changes in the educational process.
