Bin And Done It!

not a great way to wake up in the morning, and read that with out going to Parliament a new bin tax has been brought in, the last time some thing like this happened it was one of the minor reasons that we had the English Civil War, in essence local councils can now implement 4 schemes, A 'bin chip tax' would see households receive a bill based on the weight of the contents of their bin. A 'weekly collection tax' would mean households wanting to receive weekly rubbish collection paying an extra charge. A 'bin bag tax' would see families charged extra for special bin bags for non-recyclable waste. The last, a 'bin size tax', would see households charged for the size of their bin, with families requiring a bigger bin paying the most, as I have mentioned before my bin collection or rates as they are called in the UK is 40 baht a month for 3 bin collections a week, and the good news is that it is sorted for recyclable goods for free!
