El Cid Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 perhaps people who live close to each other who don't generate much green waste could share a bin between them. Charging people does seem to be forcing people to finding ways other than dumping things in the bin, its a good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longcol Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Family of 6 are 6 times more likely to make a demand on the emergency services/libraries/create 6 times more waste etc etc than family of 1. 3x more demand than 2 people etc. I don't think there would ever be a referendum on it, but I would be in favour of poll tax. * A household of 6 would still have one bin to empty - only one house for the fire brigade to attend to, for example. So do they really make 6 times the demand on Local Authority services? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obelix Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 But there's more cost in disposing of waste in landfill for six... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If councils are charged by weight at landfill then the bin from the family of 6 will cost more to dispose of than the other one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longcol Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 So it would be pretty difficult to calculate accurate local authority bills based on actual service usage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Cid Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 I have done the odd tip run for £15/£20, is it still domestic rubbish? Some people are just too busy/lazy. If the waste itself is domestic waste, a bed or some garden waste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davyboy Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 (edited) Our council £35 for the green bin and £50/year for a fortnightly collection. My tip is 5 miles away. Edited May 27, 2018 by davyboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truman Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 So it would be pretty difficult to calculate accurate local authority bills based on actual service usage. Divide the amount of council tax paid by the number of people in the local authority?That's one basic way..it could be fine tuned I suppose as well but it'd be a start...hypothetically speaking...
