Pay-as-you-throw might be coming

ISLANDERS could be charged for the rubbish they do not recycle now mass burn is rejected.
Public Services has embarked on a zero waste strategy after the States last week voted out the Suez incinerator.
People might now be asked to sort their waste for collection and pay for the residual rubbish to be dumped.
Businesses could also be asked to do the same. And to remain competitive, supermarkets would have to change the way they sell products.
Shampoo, milk and wine could be sold through dispensers. Customers might also be expected to collect meat or fish in reusable containers.
The design of many products will have to change so that less packaging is used.
A zero or minimal waste initiative means that rubbish, where possible, must be reused, repaired or recycled – and every waste stream has to be analysed and dealt with.(from thisisguernsey)
