Waste Management: Statements.

 

In a town in my constituency last week I noticed 15 bins put out on a street of some 60 houses. This goes to show that people are being proactive about the waste disposal process. They accept the polluter pays principle. People are being encouraged and incentivised to look at alternative measures to the old system of waste disposal, be it recycling, reducing or reusing. This is a welcome development in a town which had two or three bags of rubbish outside each house a few years ago. It demonstrates the distance we have travelled in a relatively short time.
