The council may not reach the targets set by central government. This may affect the amount of money the council receives from government resulting in a reduction of other services.
Central government also has recycling targets to reach, and if these are not met, the fines that the UK will have to pay will be ?1/4 million per day. If this happens, taxes will inevitably have to rise.
Canterbury landfill will be full in approximately 15 years, and any practice that increases waste to landfill is likely to increase the cost of refuse collections three-fold in the next 10 years, as waste to landfill will have to be taken outside the Canterbury district.
This will prove detrimental not only to the environment but also to future generations.
