New waste plans that could see U.K. households have as many as seven bins to comply with recycling laws have been blasted as “madness” by MPs. The Mail has more.
Under the new plans, which are set to be announced in mid-April, all councils across the U.K. would be required to individually collect paper, cardboard, metal, plastic and glass as well as garden and food waste.
This would in theory mean some households could have seven waste receptacles in what has been described as a “national bin service”.
The proposed change has been brought about by a Government consultation on household and business recycling, with Environment Secretary Thérèse Coffey due to publish her report next month.
The changes are being made to increase the consistency of waste recycling across the country due to disparity in the rates under different local authorities.
In order to be exempt from some of the changes, councils would have to demonstrate that it is “not technically or economically practicable” to collect different forms of recycling waste separately.
Another get out clause would be that they are able to demonstrate there would be no “significant environmental benefit in doing so”. …
However there has been backlash from within the Conservative party over the changes with Bob Blackman, MP for Harrow East and member of the Levelling Up, Housing and Communities parliamentary committee criticising the decision.
Speaking to the Telegraph, he said: “It would be of great concern if we end up with huge numbers of types of bins. That would be madness. In urban environments, people already have four sets of bins and to go beyond that would be absolutely crazy.”

Bust the joint.
It’s great news. Gives me some hope.
Great news, hopefully he stays safe and delivers.
McConnell is a washed out, barely functioning RINO. The sooner he’s removed the better.
He was also the sole GOP Senator to vote against Tulsi Gabbard.
Take note, Dame Heather, and open your eyes and ears.
The comparison between the US and UK is going to get very uncomfortable for our government on so many different issues.
The Marxists at the BBC are choking on their green tea and rice. A joy to behold.
Good luck to him, Obesity and ultra processed products look like easy targets, with pharmaceutical products at the other end of the scale. No doubt it will depend on the financial interests of the administration.
Obesity looks like an easy target, I see what you did there
May the force be with you.
Go for the jugular of Pfizer and Moderna.
Great news.
“He will now be in charge of a $1.7 trillion agency” Soon to be an under $1 Trillion dollar agency.
The comments on the BBC News facebook page from the brainwashed normies are hilarious.
Lets hope RFK Jr. brings down Big Pharma, corrupt politicians and the propagandists in the main stream media.
I see the House of Savile, already has questions to answer, over some receipts from USAID.
Radical Transparency is a central plank of the Trump admin. Big Pharma better prepare for a hurricane to come down on their cozy world……..not least their bank accounts…..
Bringing RFK on board was a stroke of genius by Trump.
And whoever was the first to come with ‘MAHA’ to go along with ‘MAGA’, that was a stroke of genius too.
It’s strange how he seems to have retreated from his previous anti-vaccine stance and criticism of C19/Fauci. Now the target is food. It looks like Big Pharma is too powerful.
Halleluia. I hope he lifts the lid on the stinking cesspit of Big Pharma, State “Medical Regulators” and the puppeticians who created and pushed the dangerous, experimental gene therapies …. and exterminates the lot of them.
The end of covid poisonous vaxx and injury causing kiddie vaxxes will be abolished soon. Thank god.
All RFK needs to do is introduce real science and reduce the influence of profiteering and greed. The rest will take care of itself. Kennedy basically said as much during his approval hearings.
sad that not one Dem voted for him, people who used to give him standing ovations. Being partisan now counts more than speaking the truth.
This is fantastic news for us all. We need similar public debate and action in the UK. Parents of children with autism may find this new substack of interest. The aim is to link up with developments in the UK: https://open.substack.com/pub/theautismtribune?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android&r=1s85wn
