Poll: Would you remove all recyclable packaging at point of purchase?

Give it to us straight. Be honest.

THERE HAS BEEN a lot of angst – and rightly so – about how bin charges are going to be structured for Irish households.

It adds to the overall conversation about how the State is tackling the production and disposal of waste. One of the suggestions from Environment Minister Denis Naughten has been to place large-scale recycling facilities directly outside supermarkets so that consumers can dispose of excess packaging before they go home.

If this was available, would you remove packaging from your goods before taking them home with you?


Poll Results:

Yes, definitely (5349)
I'd like to but not sure I always would (3576)
No (1435)
