It's a controversial move that is bound to divide opinion - one council in the West Country is now charging residents £1.20 each time they use their local waste/recycling tip.

And with other councils across the country (including Kingston no doubt) watching to see whether the experiment is a success or not, newmaldenpeople wondered if you would be happy to pay to get rid of your waste, or would you consider the move to be quite frankly, rubbish?

I asked one of my neighbours for her opinion and this is what she said: "It all depends on the cost of course but I wouldn't mind paying it if the only alternative was to drive much further away and end up spending more on petrol."
