A page with some serious denial. Councils across the land are bringing
in impractical restrictions on household garbage disposal and wonder why
there's so much flytipping. Duh! The solution is not to target 25
flytipping locations, a miniscule percentage of the problem, but to
realise that there was a good reason why free at point of use household
collection was introduced decades ago, and reintroduce it.

There was a bit about it on TV yesterday. Seems whether a council provides
good or bad facilities has little effect on fly tipping.

It doesn't matter whether the facilities are good or bad - it's whether
they are free or charged for.
