646 Mr. Deasy asked the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government if it is Government policy, as stated in replies to Questions Nos. 1504 and 1505 of 25 January 2006, that local authorities should impose a fixed waste services charge on households to cover the fixed costs associated with providing the collection service coupled with a use-based charge per bin lift; if he approved the adoption of this approach by Waterford County Council when the county manager added a fixed charge of €150 per household to the existing charges per bin lift; his views on whether this policy will offer no incentive to householders to reduce the amount of waste being produced; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
