we already have 3 wheelie bins ,1 for general waste ,1 for recycling ,1 for garden waste ,we also have copious bottle/clothes banks ,at least 4 (that i know of)household recycling centers run by the the local authority and 5 (that i know of)major recycling centers run by private companies that are making fortunes out of recycling .I have just paid the local authority £90 for a waste transfer licence to transport old wood windows and glass from the site i work on to the company skips (there are 5 of those) emptied at a cost of £385 per skip on a 2 day cycle (depending on how much work we do) .all of this is taken to one of the private companies ,sorted and sold on (clear glass is worth about £30 per ton i think)

so if any dipstick from the the Newcastle L.A turns up at my house with another bin and asks me to further sort my rubbish so they can make even more money out of me then i will recycle a few council officials
