Must admit, I've not lived here that long but this does annoy me. Surely we're only going to end up getting taxed more if rubbish is going into landfill?:034:

Don't get me started on the council tax If rubbish isn't being collected why are we paying council tax?

In May I am voting for the party that vows to cut the council tax because it is the most unfair system of tax ever.

I don't see why I should pay for many services I don't use?

We should look at all the rubbish we are producing (all that bloody packaging). If we just went back to eating decent food instead of living on takeaways and ready meals it would help. Throw the microwave out!

Talking of wheelie bin,s, we now have 3 a purple one for normal rubbish, food etc, a green one for garden stuff, grass, old plants, and a new grey one for
recyclable stuff, cans, paper washing up liquid bottles, so as mentioned it is
likely that normal emptying will go fortnightly.....

The party that wants to scrap council tax and replace it with a local income tax is the Liberal Democrats, who are already in power in Liverpool.

I think this is going to become quite an election issue, with the Labour lot saying 'if we don't do it, we'll end up being fined landfill tax charges,' while the Lib Dems will say 'we're the part of good services.'

That's certainly how I read the Debate piece in the Daily Post on Tuesday, which I have found is on their website. I think it is worth putting a comment on there so we actually do keep the weekly collection service....

In responce to Wheele bins.the city of Liverpool have deemed it fit to issue
all council houses with 6 wheele Bins by end June/July 2007.they will be:
Purple for household waste.
Green for garden waste.grass cuttings hedge cuttings ect
Grey is for Glass only.
Yellow is for plastic only,containers.Shopping bags.ect
Black is for oil cooking and motor oil, and cooking fat.
red is for computers.printers.disk drive.ect.
all house holders should if not allready be informed by letter
Hope this helps to clear up any misunderstandig about wheele bin policy.

Why issue the bins to just council houses? What are the community-charge paying residents of non council houses to do with their rubbish?

If the stuff I throw away might lead to a fine if I inadvertently put the wrong rubbish into the wrong bin, I'd rather not bring it into my house. What about the larger supermarkets placing big recycling bins in their carparks so that people can strip off the wrapping they don't want there and then? Better still, those same supermarkets could stop triple wrapping items that don't need it.

I think this is a joke ?

The bin men called to a Chinese feller in our street and said,

" Where's yer bin?"

He replied, "I've bin to Hong Kong."

So the bin man said, "No! where's yer wheelie bin ?"

The answer came back, " I wheelie bin to fliggin Hong Kong."
