'Pay by weight' would encourage recycling - poll

72% of Irish adults are in favour of the introduction of 'Pay by Weight' refuse charges according to a Milward Brown IMS survey commissioned by Repak amongst 1,200 adults in July.

Nine in 10 of those in favour reported this would encourage them to recycle more. The survey was carried out in advance of this week's Repak National Recycling Week, which starts today.
