It would be ok for the people who lived on their own or couples who didnt make that much rubbish but what about the ones who have kids and so from that a lot of rubbish. If they did start charging for rubbish then they would have to lower the council charge wouldnt they? Can you imagine if they tried to charge you for the rubbish and didnt lower the council tax - would be riots in hyndburn and anywhere else they brought it in. Makes sense not to charge - that way everyone is on a flat rate and pays the same.
