Technology is great when it works.
The council should only accept items made of plastic. This will encourage people to only buy plastic products wrapped in plastic, and the council could specialise in recycling plastic (social housing or bus stops out of empty milk containers for instance). I am sure this way the council could achieve a very high score regarding plastic recycling. Organic waste need not be a problem if the council supplied each family with a pig and each street with a pig slurry tipping point. Non-plastic waste disposal sites should be set up, but should be extremely expensive, thus discouraging the use of non-plastic products. For example, £5 to dispose of an empty weetabix box or £20 for a wooden table lamp. Anyone caught fly tipping will be executed and fed to the family pig. These measures should go someway in increasing recycling in Norfolk.
