REGARDING the article Recycle Your Rubbish Or Face Fine of £1,000 (News Shopper, April 19).
I am a Bromley resident and I have always recycled, but my neighbour has not.
It is easy for the council to say people who don't recycle will be fined, but when it comes to it will it really happen?
Will dustmen really check the recycling and warn people?
I don't think this will work well.
If I have lots of paper I sometimes put it in a black bin bag, with a note saying "paper rubbish". But the collection team won't take it.
The council said "They won't take it if it's in black bin bags" but they will if it's in carrier bags. Surely one black bin bag is less plastic waste than 10 small carrier bags?
