Government thinking of charging your rubbish by Weight (pay as you throw)
 
Bollocks

I will now take my Rubbish into smaller bags
then put them inside the Public Street bins


So Bugger off
PM Starmer



[The UK government is considering charging
households for waste collection based on weight,
a system known as "pay-as-you-throw".
This could involve local councils implementing
variable charging, potentially using
wheelie bins weighed as they're emptied
or requiring specific council rubbish bags.
The aim is to incentivize recycling
and reduce waste,
but the proposal faces criticism and debate]


Debated on the 2nd Show
of Ch5HD AM Live

Yes, but many homes are putting too much general
rubbish, each week.

They will be charged Extra.


Best to buy small bags for
whenever they start this


Then put your rubbish in the Street Bins
and dog poo bins

Every other day

as usual happy to swan around EUrope with leaders bragging about green sh1te but its the common man who pays for all this virtue signalling

Oliver_W 18-08-2025 12:37 PM

Nice way to punish families.

bots 18-08-2025 12:44 PM

They obviously haven't thought it through. There are communal bins etc, there are recycling points in car parks etc. They will end up having to replace every wheelie bin with a lockable version. The time taken to weigh and verify every ****ing bin. What happens if you miss a week but have double the waste the next pickup. It's just unworkable

That's pretty much the government in a nutshell.

Home fires will rise when people start burning it in the garden.

joeysteele 18-08-2025 02:36 PM

I can't see this happening at all.

Vanessa 18-08-2025 02:56 PM

I'll just put my rubbish in public bins

Cherie 18-08-2025 02:59 PM

Is there anything this lot won't dream up

I will sneak out at night and put rubbish through my neighbours letterboxes :ninja2:

BBXX 18-08-2025 05:11 PM

*financially punishes families who use more rubbish than those without*
*cries about plummeting birth rates*

Dense.

Mystic Mock 18-08-2025 05:16 PM

Starmer does realise that he was elected to enact policies that people WANT! Right?

Not enacting policies that 95% of people never asked for or even cared about.

Yes Vicky
looks that way.


It should get debates in parliament
first

Vicky. 18-08-2025 07:45 PM

Anything that increases what the public pay will pass...

bots 18-08-2025 08:52 PM

I bet there will be a lot of people sneakily burning rubbish too. Great for the go green initiative :laugh:
