IN response to the Star’s online story about the council considering introducing charges for green bin collections.


Well if people don’t burn their “green” waste then they will do what we used to before green bin collections, put it in the brown bin.This then increases the amount that goes to landfill and therefore the costs to the council.


Those that don’t have room in their brown bin and don’t want to burn it may be tempted to dump it wherever they want.

So what this will do is damage the environment and create air pollution, create higher landfill fees and more fly tipping.
