Through your paper I would like  Venk Shenoi to respond

to the following questions. If all waste were collected

weekly in one container, ie a dustbin, and then

mechanically sorted at one location would the majority of

recycling costs disappear?

If the council collected trade waste for free and took

it to the same sorting site, could they at best make a

profit on the deal or at worst make no loss?

I add to my questions the observation that all the

carbon-based materials could be burned to save fuel

costs if they could not be sold for a profit and the heat

produced could be used for communal heating.

Venk and others, start thinking of waste as an asset

not a problem. One plus for Venk though, he at least

thinking about the subject.
