...with regard to waste management.

It seems that councils award the contracts, set the charges and deliver 
new bins, most recently with RFID tags, without consultation or recourse 
by residents.

The real problem with this is there seem to be no incentives for the 
Council or their suppliers to do better on waste management.

Most industries cannot enforce the purchase of their product, with the 
possible exception of Superannuation.
