Councils waste £200m on rubbish bins of all colours

15th Jul 2014

A newspaper is today reporting that councils are wasting £200,000,000 a year on different colour bins. 

Given the value of the now segregated recyclables, we’re surprised that an enterprising waste collector hasn’t set up an alternative to the local authority monopoly on waste collections.

It becomes increasingly clear that the present system is costing us too much, the market will eventually provide remedy.
