Do I need to recycle?
Over the last few years we’ve seen a number of recycling regulations introduced to the UK and while there are no strict laws regarding recycling at the moment it is only a matter of time. Do I need to recycle is a question that more and more people are asking around the UK and the simple answer is that we all need to recycle as much as possible, voluntarily at the moment, before we are charged for unrecycled waste.
This may seem a little extreme but slowly we are seeing a number of new regulations and laws being discussed in the political arena which will impact upon every citizen in the UK and every business. Recycling is now massive business and set to become one of the growth sectors of the future and that is before we even consider the impact our waste has upon the environment.
In many ways it is better to begin recycling ourselves before we are forced to change the way we live and the way we dispose of our waste. There has been talk of a bin tax for many years and the introduction of microchips onto wheelie bins is a surefire step in this direction.
