Stocks and scares

And I don't mean the trendy Big City variety!

No, it seems to be time to get medieval on our a**es.

This from Dave at Solarventi:

Definitely one for you.

Bit scary though as in the ultimate sanction that Bromley uses…. “residents who don't recycle face not having their rubbish collected”. Now that’s a big stick but it just might make people recycle more readily! Wonder how they enforce it?

Somewhat tied to this was my eyebrow cranking on the subject of cost when there seem to be hordes of waste officers running about. Is this solving a problem or creating a self-funding new empire? I have a rather jaundiced view that those who are not of a cooperative bent may find others ways to deal with their waste.

It is a problem, but there seem to be a lot of well-funded sticks around and not many equally well funded solutions or benefits in complement.
