    Typical J-Government mindless crap. It will just cause more people to do illegal dumping - and who could blame them? Tax, tax, tax - thats all these morons think of.

    realist - exactly. Seems we still have too few washing machines and refrigerators in the forest and roadside gutters - the government is trying really hard to increase that number. Why don't we hike the recycling rate to something even better, like 300% or so?

    ugh, how did I miss that one? "In forests and roadside gutters" was what I meant to say...

    If I were on the fence between paying to recycle or dumping my refrigerator in the forest, this would tip the balance to a midnight woods run. Do government officials realize that an Increase in tax lures people Away from that which is taxed? I guess they don't want us to recycle.
