If the government is serious about preventing waste going to landfill why does it permit unsolicited mail to be delivered to people’s homes?There has been much talk recently of householders being charged for the amount of waste they generate but no talk of reducing the amount of unsolicited waste being delivered to them. While fully supportting the principal of recycling I fail to understand why householders should pay a levy to allow them to dispose of materials they did not want in the first place. Would it not be better to tax the producers of waste rather than those receiving it?Business is the source of most household waste with excessive packaging and advertising literature leading the way. A few days ago I received a copy of "Yellow Pages" which was not wanted and not removed from it's plastic bag before I deposited it in the dustbin; what a waste! When will businesses be forced to stop producing these vast quantities of unwanted rubbish?
