Rubbish disposal is becoming an increasing problem-and local councils are beginning to look ahead to 2020 when half of all household waste will need to be recycled, and to 2008, when taxes on landfill sites (photograph) will go up. Fortnightly collections of household waste are inevitable, local authority body Cosla has said; So far 13 of Scotland's 32 local authorities have introduced fortnightly collections, and the rest may follow. But are forthighly collections the answer? here is what one resident says:
"despite recycling glass, cans, cardboard, paper, plastic and garden waste,my bin is always overflowing at the end of two weeks. .. It is the smell. We had a hot summer so it has been much worse. But even in this weather I had bluebottles round my bin."
Why do councils think fortnighly collections are the answer?
What more should be done to encourage recycling?
Tell me what you think-Please add a comment!
