From David Purchase, Bristol, UK
The “pay-as-you-throw” concept of a bin tax has a flaw that would need to be addressed: it requires lockable bins (25 September, p 18).
It is common for others to put rubbish in my bin, and this would get much worse if there were a bin tax. Lockable bins would be expensive, and as all the waste collection teams would need a master key, this would rapidly become ineffective.
