Crosser Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Wait a moment.... Surely most things are now "recyclable" and the "dumps" are making money from all this "recycling" we are supposed to do? If this is the case, then why don't the councils (or whoever runs these dumps) welcome the rubbish with open arms? Afterall we have had "recycling" burned into our skulls for the last 20 years or so. IMO "Recycling" is/was a huge con, to get people to segregate their waste, so they could sack the people who were paid to do it. Egg on our face? yes, because we fell for it!!

Off you go. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin Smith Posted October 22, 2013 Author Share Posted October 22, 2013 I went for a walk today from Goldthorpe to Conisborough, partly along the disused railway, and I have to say I was shocked, nay, stunned, by the amount of litter dumped there. In fact under the bridges, one in particular at Goldthorpe, it was more like a landfill site than anything else. Obviously the people dumping this stuff are absolute scumbags* but I`m certain that a contributory factor is the landfill tax which makes it so expensive to hire a skip. It was introduced by Ken Clarke/John Gummer in 1996 and I actually agree with it, but I really do think they should have ensured that a certain percentage of all the income raised by the tax went into a central anti fly tipping task force, not only to help clear up the mess but catch the gits who dump it. * At least they`re consistent, you should have seen the state of some of the gardens of the houses next to said littering.....
