add 5 buckets + of soil & sand+other safe particulate unflammable as possible material to bottom of your bin before filling up. If you live by seaside your lucky, sand is still kept at petrol stations in buckets for a reason. This should seriously help shut the illegally toxic incinerators which regularly breach emissions.

Incinerators are currently belching out many chemicals now including nano minute toxins which travel thousands of miles further & can pass our normal blood, skin barriers easily going deeper into the lung than asbestos.
Waste companies are also burning or dumping valuable resources like plastics which we will probably have to mine trickily from landfill in the future. Anaerobic digesting & real recycling are the only sustainable option economically & environmentally.
People with cancer near incinerators also will be may be able to sue soon.
The current policy is criminally insane& some of the company directors& owners involved if they do not stop may well face criminal charges in the future. They could make profit & help save the planet now if they invest in sustainable renewables now!
The price of raw materials will keep going up, stop burning them & poisoning us as well as your own children.

Nano minute toxins?

If you could, then we wouldn't only be discovering them now as we've had access to fire for a fair old time.

Obvioiusly this is just a suggestion, it isnt illegal to accidently put small

What about the worker who lifts your bin?

of which 30% Organic 33% Paper & Card 3% Textiles 8% Metal 6% Glass 7% Plastics 9% Misc.
4%
= Most of the volume of household waste doesn't weigh as much as it would if everyone added sand or earth. Especially if that sand or earth was moist. I reckon the workers who carried it would notice.
But if you carry your own bin I reckon you're not hurting anyone and best of luck to you.

THEY ARE WHEELIE BINS! WITH HYDRAULIC LIFT LORRIES

....erm, have you seen the bin men in the morning doing the rounds? bin ban takes two wheelie bins by the handles, pulls them off the curb backwards, then deftly spins them around so they are in front of him, the hydraulics on the truck take care of the rest. trying to do this repeatedly throughout the day with bins weighing far more than usual will lead to exhaustion and injury, you are in the IWW, you should know strike action would be far more effective.
Sorry, but it is a daft idea.
dusty bin
for goodness sakes afew bucket loads, yeh lets organise a strike as well, good

Dumbest idea I've heard for a while.

So you want everyone to load up their bins with sand and other particulates (massively increasing the mass of non-recyclable waste to be dealt with) because you think if everyone did it, that binload couldn't be incinerated?
Let me count the ways:
* more waste means more demand for landfill sites or incineration
* have you thought how many people would need to do this for it to make a difference?
* particulates are bad, so put more particulates into the system
* less efficient burning means more particulates
* your scheme would create more large particulate pollution
* you want to incinerate (or at least throw away) soil, a scarce resource
* which would burn at incinerator temperatures _anyway_
You need to calm down a bit, this is a bad and flawed idea that shouldn't have left the pub.
