Does anyone know what percentages of landfill is taken up by domestic and industrial waste respectively?

The amount of HOUSEHOLD aste which goes to Landfill is 9%. That's NINE PER CENT.

The rest is made up of a variety of things, but industrial waste is 60%.

Now will you believe that all of these waste disposal costs/wheelie bins etc are another of Comrade Brown's stealth taxes?

Think of Christmas when you fill you bin full of wrapping not wrapping you put on but toy wrapping full of metal screws ties etc

In the days gone buy milk was delivered in bottles we then left them out side and they where used again and again

Now we buy milk from a supper market even the milk man deliverers in plastic bottles

It is company's that generate the waste for us to be charged for

Also you have to use hot water to wash all cans before disposal ?

Does that not use fuel that then is adding to the cost etc of disposal as all cans are washed before being recycled at the recycling plant with hot water

If you where charged for all waste then would you be charged for all waste in your bin ?

But all waste is and can be recycled including the bin

In England we do not have the ability to recycle

all of our waste

SO we will pay the Government to once again screw us in the ground after all they just lost How much Tax because of the smoking ban ?

when a skip full of waste is taken away.it goes to a recycle plant to have everything possible reclaimed as there are large charges for landfill these days..there are people who can not give a damn about recycling in UK ..this is sad because i fill my wheely bin every week with the stuff....the rest of Europe are streets ahead of Britain at moment but we are making large gains on them over past few years ..it should be a voluntary act not enforced by government

Organic Waste will go up from 40 percent to 60 percent

Plastic will rise from 4% to 6%

Metal will escalate from 1% to 4%

Glass will increase from 2% to 3%

Paper will climb from 5% to 15%

Others (ash, sand, grit) will decrease from 47% to 12%
