ChrisP, I think Jumbletown is such a perfect example of how a simple idea can work really well.
People will recycle if they get something back, be it the knowledge that you saved €200 on a skip by passing something on, or getting 5c for a returnable bottle, or a thank you from a fellow jumbletowner, or just knowing that something you no longer need is being used or enjoyed by someone else.

Maybe now is the time to grab a hold in the recycling market?
Aren't we in a recession? Aren't we losing businesses left and right?
Maybe we should ask the government what they are doing to attract recycling plants etc into Ireland to soak up all these job loses?
If we can aford to export the vast majority our recyclable waste then there must be money in it?

Told you I could go on...
:)
