KEEP UP NON-PAYMENT Just got the text of this leaflet that is being distributed by the Anti Bin Tax campaign in the Dublin City Council area. CAMPAIGN AGAINST THE BIN TAX Don't pay the bin charges Once again Dublin City Council have issued bills for 2002 plus the arrears from 2001. And a number of households have been threatened with legal action if they don't pay within seven days. The majority of households in Dublin City have refused to pay the bin charges. Remember this is a form of unjust double taxation. PAYE workers are already paying for this service through our taxes. Last year £7.16 billion was paid over by PAYE workers. £6.21 billion was paid over in VAT. But the Government gave big business ?329 reduction in corporation tax. And where are the threats of legal action against the Ansbacher account holders who deliberately dodged paying taxes to the tune of £500 million? There is clearly one law for the rich and another law for the rest of us in this country. If the Councils get away with charging for the bins then the costs will go up and up each year. That is what has happened in Sligo, for example where the charges have gone up to over 400 euro this year. Government Lies: In fact, instead of recycling facilities, this government is pushing incinerators as the solution to the waste crisis. And they have stood by while the only glass recycling plant, the IGB in Ringsend, was shut down with no redundancy payments made to the workers. The real reason for the bin charges is to make waste collection a profitable industry that can then be privatised - this has happened in almost every other council area after charges were introduced. Privatisation will mean job losses, an end to the waiver schemes, and ever-increasing bills. CAMPAIGN HOTLINE TELEPHONE THOUSANDS HAVE REFUSED TO PAY There is a massive response to the Campaign Against the Bin Tax. The City Thousands of households have not paid a penny. Some have part paid a small amount and more have been granted waivers. There are anti bin tax campaigns in Dun Laoghaire, Fingal and South Dublin Council areas. And these campaigns have linked up with Cork, Drogheda, Galway, Sligo and Offaly where campaigns have been formed. Join the campaign against the bin tax THE CAMPAIGN WILL BE ORGANISING PUBLIC MEETINGS IN YOUR AREA DURING THE MONTH OF AUGUST.
