    Why is everybody expecting Tesco to pay them when they recycle but not the council?

    Why becuase tescos use this to off set the cost of their waste bill, they can credits for recycling so much, where as if they didnt recycle then they would have to buy these credits.

    On the other hand taking this recycling away from your local council will only increase council tax bills.

    I took a load of recycling cans to tesco the other day after seeing the poster saying 2 cans = 1 point, i recycled 30 cans and got 1 point. Never again it all goes to the council from now.

    But then if they didn't do that that cost would end up going somewhere........the cost of food.

    The councils constantly tell us that recycling costs them less than just throwing stuff away and if everyone did it our council tax bill would be lower, so going by this and your theories our council tax would drop if we all recycled with them instead of Tescos which would offset the extra cost of the food so I can't really see what your point is???

    Council tax drop?

    Thats my point. One could happen, the other never will!

    Gee my fishing trip's going better than I expected, two trolls in one! That's got to be a record!:kiss:
    I don't think me posting on 3 treads really constitutes haunting where as you guys really put it about a bit. Where ever there is someone down there you are kicking them. Are you two a couple by the way? I think it's so cute how you are always there to hold each others hands:love:. If you're not a couple you really should think about it you're just like bonny and clyde, they shot everyone they came across to!

    Yet again, you don't even know what you are responding to.

    Odd. Very, very odd.
