The whole thing about waste reduction and recycling is largely setup to fail. What we have is tokenism. The real agenda is to ditch all pretense once they can privatise the whole waste industry. Then we will see the rush to incineration. Indeed it is crucial that recycling fails for incineration to be commercially viable.the REAL pollutors get off as everhttp://www.indymedia.ie/article/62744#comment565682003-12-18T16:49:49+00:00conor (wsm personal capacity)Repak could WELL AFFORD to pay for these bins.

In fact thats waht they are supposed to be there for to provid easy access recycling facilities for ordinary folk<br />
<br />
In fact Repak is a scam ! The idea is that shops and businesses dodge their EU requirement to deal with their own packaging by paying protection money. <br />
<br />
Its a loophole deliberately written into the waste management act. So the pollutor only pays if they're an ordinary working household - the people who generate the packaging dodge all resoponsibility. As was clearly demonstrated by the anti bin tax campaign when they returned packaging to the crumlin shopping center. The response from Tesco and others was absolutely blatant:<br />
<br />
"However, the supermarkets were alerted to the campaign and had placed signs on the doors saying "No litter we pay Repak and don't have to take packaging back."<br />
<br />
(from the Irish Examiner)<br />
<br />
translation: "fuck off we pay our protection money to dodge EU rules and we'd rather not have attention drawn to it !<br />
<br />
Its legal under Irish law but probably illegal under EU law - but who's goona have the cash to take a case !!<br />
