Government abdicates responsibility on waste

THE Government and local authorities would seem to have taken a position of not wanting people to recycle. The lack of facilities is now being compounded by spiralling charges.

This is very much at odds with the image that is being presented by the Race Against Waste campaign. The Government needs to indulge less in superficial, glossy and dishonest PR and work harder to provide a credible system of waste management.

This would involve tackling the problem at source rather than putting ordinary people in the position of subsidising big business.
