By placing the burden for dealing with waste on those who produce it, we have already begun to see changes in the levels of waste production. Generally, people accept the principle and have welcomed it, which is why we have seen positive effects in most parts of the country. Perhaps a further extension of the principle would be for local authorities to introduce authorised bin liners. These would be sold at a premium rate rather than imposing bin charges. The more waste a household produced, the more bin liners would have to be purchased and the more money would have to be paid to the local authority. The effect would be to make people more conscious of the waste they were producing thereby helping to prevent waste and to promote its reuse.
