"There are no plans for an England-wide "bin tax" - and even if it were to happen it would not be for several years, Gordon Brown has said.
The prime minister said councils were welcome to submit proposals to charge or reward people according to the amount of rubbish they threw away.
But only "a very small number" of pilots were being backed.
"We've got no commitment to go any further - not at all... and it couldn't happen for years," he told GMTV."
The translation for that defence is - There are plans but nothing will be implemented until after the next General Election.
