Councils have no obligation to collect commercial waste. If they do so, they make charges that the council decides upon. It's the council's decision if it wishes to subsides the collection, and I don't suppose that many would do that. They might subsidise collection of commercial waste for recycling, I suppose. > Paul > > -- > Paul Waring > http://www.pwaring.com > > _______________________________________________ > Mailing list [email protected] > Archive, settings, or unsubscribe: > https://secure.mysociety.org/admin/lists/mailman/listinfo/developers-public -- Ian Eiloart _______________________________________________ Mailing list [email protected] Archive, settings, or unsubscribe: https://secure.mysociety.org/admin/lists/mailman/listinfo/developers-public
