Policy shift needed on waste elimination

I READ with considerable interest your recent coverage of the indiscriminate dumping of all kinds of rubbish throughout our green and pleasant countryside.

As we all know, the problem is getting worse every day and it could all be so different if only the Governments would implement a national strategy based on the principle of saving waste.

There should be charges at the point where waste is created rather than at the point of disposal, as is the case at present.
