Albert Tatlock Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 Moves like this just increase fly-tipping. Everyone lives somewhere on island and everyone needs to dump shoite occasionally...so other than checking it's not commercial waste what does it really matter? 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thommo2010 Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 Forgive my ignorance but doesn't it all end up at the same place anyway so what difference does it make which amenity site it goes to? 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would think so .. but there is layers of local authority and national government bullshit shovel jockeys passing invoices around just to move money about for the sake of keeping some ones wife/girlfriend/mum/dad/son/bit on the side in a job and a pension scheme. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because the bride idiots have decided they’re not contributing anything to the cost of running the amenities centre even though they have some of lowest rates on the island so maybe ban all bride residents for everything!

It matters because each local authority charges its ratepayers for rubbish disposal and is charged by the incinerator on weight, so the local ratepayers are effectively paying for another LA's waste disposal. For some LAs that is the main service it provides to its ratepayers. Of course it wouldn't be such a big issue if there was a reform of LAs, at least to nake a single waste disposal authority, but do we think that would ever happen? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty Buggane Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 I think I'm right in saying its not a legal requirement to have your licence and insurance in the vehicle or did they slip that one in alongside id cards ?. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fully understand the way it works currently, but reform is the first thing that should be happening. Gov should then just charge each authority one set fee based per head population. With all the admin gone, we would be back to sensible waste pricing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because each authority is charged for what it sends to the incinerator and recovers that charge through the rates it levies on its ratepayers. If others from other LAs use that amenity centre, that LA will have to pay for the disposal of their rubbish when it hasn't received the rates from those people. In extremis, the rates will go up in that LA while the LA who is receiving the rates from those other people is pocketing a bonus. It is fair and reasonable, IMHO, until different LA arrangements are implemented. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
