LIKE most Hyndburn residents, I have received a waste recycling box and bag and most likely in future will get two wheelie bins.

What I would like to know is, what happens to the revenue from aluminium cans, bottles, paper and garden waste, which is recycled into compost and sold back to the public?

I think it would encourage more people to dispose of their waste in this manner if they used the revenue to reduce council tax.

In Canada, when an empty drinks can is returned to the store from which it was purchased, a few pence is returned and it is the same for bottles. There must be a lot of revenue drawn from these commodities. Let's have a bit back.
