If this comes into force thanks once again to EU rules, why does it say "every household in Britain" when only councils across England and Wales have been told they have to follow EU guidance, why are Scotland and Northern island not mentioned, are they not also in the EU?
/// Every household in Britain will be expected to separate their recycling in to four separate boxes from 2015 under new European Union rules. ///
/// Councils across England and Wales have been told they have to follow EU guidance that will require paper, metal, glass and plastic to be collected separately. ///

Everyone...look...you have to take my word on this...
The Daily Mail lies.
This story is a lie
Two years ago, the Daily Mail lied, telling us that we would have to separate out rubbish into nine different bins:

Hands up everyone who has to do this now? Anyone.
And as for this latest lie...here's a rebuttal:

So please everyone - use this simple rule...if the link is to a story in the Daily Mail, whatever the report says, the opposite is probably true.

Surely not made up, sp? The Daily Mail appears to have been just a bit economical with the truth. After all, we all accept what the Daily Mail says, without investigating further, don't we? It has always been incapable of presenting facts without leaving a false impression in the minds of its, substantially elderly, and therefore experienced and wise, readership, has it not ? If not, then I am deeply shocked and might have to rely on The Times instead.

/// More to the point - Do you believe in the the idea of waste recycling, AoG? If so, how do you think it should be done? ///
Yes I am all for recycling, but it isthe way that it is carried out that wants addressing.
We once had a large black bin, for general rubbish, a large brown bin for garden waste, food scraps and shredded paper, a smaller blue bin for tins, glass bottles and plastic, a bag for waste paper, a bag for cardboard, and a bag for old clothes, this was under our Tory Council.
Then Labour got into power on our council, and straight away they increased our Council Tax and then informed us that they were taking our Brown bin off us unless we paid a yearly payment of £40 for the privilege of keeping it, they then delivered a new large blue bin in which we are to put in paper, plastic, glass, cardboard, aerosols etc.so now we have just have two bins.

well we just have a big bin for recyclables and a small bin for the rest, works well. The council have some kind of recycling plant and actually they make a profit out of it. The annual accounts we get with the council tax bill reckon that they have saved a fortune in landfill tax alone. Issuing many different receptacles just complicates the issue. we have people here who are too stupid for even 2 bins gawd knows what 4 or 5 would do!
please make sure your empty paint tins are empty

Absolutely amazing it has been said on here that this article is just an excuse for more regular rants against the EU. only to be joined by others who think it is quite permissible to include their regular (and getting all rather boring) rants against the Daily Mail.
Double standards spring to mind.

To all those who complained about this post, being lie by the Daily Mail, or rants against the EU, did no one notice that I personally did not make a personal opinion on it, I was just asking others if they will abide by these EU rules?
But then why stop it from becoming an anti AOG, anti Daily Mail, which some would rather partake in than answering a perfectly just question?
Incidentally no one has yet answered my other question regarding every household in Britain but excluding Scotland and Northern Ireland it would seem, but then that would also mean answering a question, which isn't so much fun at all.

"This post is not really about recycling...its just the regular and normal rant against the EU. "
so when anybody else posts its a rant ...but when you post, apart from the usual tripe what is it classed as ?
because you seem to think that caving in to nearly everything the eussr dictates we should or shouldnt do is a good thing it doesnt mean everybody does.

exactly, why do we need the eussr to dictate to us under the guise of guidance (soon it will be a dictat) how we should recycle unless of course its just another one of their plans to have in place for when they have the superstate/empire they want.
they can go screw themselves
is that a rant mikey or an opinion..as you seem to think you run things here perhaps you could clarify for me

Oh for Christ sake.
This story is made up.
Why should we even comment on a story that isn't true?
And furthermore there is absolutely no way that every household in the country will be forced into using four separate bins.
And you know why.
Because vast numbers of people in this country live...in tower blocks.
And there are tours that live in smaller blocks.
And all of these blocks have communal bins.
I find it incredible that people are still taken in by Daily Mail articles.

AOG do you think the Daily Mail was 100 per cent accurate in the story and the impression of it the paper gave? Do you not agree that it is useful to point out when the paper falls below the high standards of journalism which we all, including you, expect? And, if that happens several times, does that justify the somewhat emotive word 'rant' ? Or do you think the paper always reaches the right standard and this, apparently. may be an exceptional case ?
