No doubt the Northampton University research also found mercury, faecal matter and many other harmful elements. There will also have been a high level of self-santisation (dilution) of harmful waste by the sheer volume of inert waste.

Councils should not be held responsible for dirty bins - why can't people take responsibility for their own bins? After all it is their waste! if your bin is dirty, take steps to prevent this, as shown above. Why do people object to paying more for waste disposal, yet continually demand more and more? stop disposing and the costs, and bugs, will go down!
