RE: Red card for waste recycling.

THIS whole idea is both flawed and childish. It's like getting a 'gold star' (or not) at school.

Instead of focusing our council taxes to fund 'teams' to spy on us, would it not be better use of that money to find a way to recycle all the plastic trays, cellophane, plastic tops and yogurt pots that currently must go into the grey bin?

And when will the council give recycling bins to retailers who have to put all packaging into one bin unless they want to pay privately for its removal?

Arrogant and patronising nonsense.
