Can anyone explain why it costs a small business more to separate out rubbish (waste paper, plastics etc) than it does to chuck it all in together for land-fill? At home we are all encouraged to do this, but as a business in Wandsworth, if we want the council to take segragated waste away (hopefully for re-cycling) we have to pay for a private contractor to come and do it. Would it not be better to charge those businesses who choose NOT to separate out rubbish? It can’t be green for individuals and not green for businesses.

I remember when recycling was a choice not a demand.
Thanks for your response. It still is a choice and I am not suggesting it should be compulsory. My argument is that at very least it should not cost companies to make a choice that most people believe has a positive impact on society.
