I am concerned about the notion of collecting these charges on a yearly basis. Doing so presents the householder with one big bill, which is much more difficult to cope with than many smaller bills at regular intervals. More importantly, it increases the distance between the action he or she takes and the need to pay for it. If something done now has to be paid for a year down the road, that is one thing. It is another and much stronger thing if what is done now has to be paid for this week. In my case I have to buy tags to put on bins each week.
