The Government could make the system of refuse charges more acceptable to everyone if it did three things. The system of waivers for people who cannot pay, currently only available in some areas, must be available everywhere. The charges must be directly related to the amount of refuse the householder puts out for collection, which is not happening in all cases. It must be possible to pay the charge "as you go", rather than having to face a big bill at the end of the year. If the Government takes those actions, we will face up to the challenge and there will be greater acceptance among householders, who are having difficulty putting forward an alternative.
