Some local councils are installing micro chips to monitor waste. 
As a prelude to charge by weight for collection.
On top of council tax, does your council ?.

As many councils now switch to fortnightly bin collection, How long before we get fined for excessive waste.
This is a kick in the teeth for people with large families

Its hard to be awesome, when your playing with little plastic men. 
Welcome to Fantasy 40k
If you think your important, in the great scheme of things. Do the water test.
Put your hands in a bucket of warm water,
then pull them out fast. The size of the hole shows how important you are.
I think we should roll some dice, to see if we should roll some dice, To decide if all this dice rolling is good for the game.

I don't see why it should be called "secretly taking rubbish".
Once thrown out, it belongs to the council. In fact a lot of people are angry that the council does not take away the rubbish more often.
A kick in the teeth for large families?
Only if a one size fits all policy is brought in. Otherwise there can be a personal allowance for each family member, and large families will be able to throw away more.
The main drawback of charging per bin load is that it will encourage more fly-tipping and putting stuff in the neighbours' bins.
My brother has had a problem for years with the neighbours to the rear of his garden, who used to throw used nappies over the fence, and now throw other sorts of rubbish.
If it's like that before a law comes in think what it will come to when there is a law!

Your point about fly tipping, is a very valid concern.
Its already on the increase
