I'm sure I read somewhere that waste disposal actually became profitable for councils, after compulsory recycling had been introduced.
More likely, this is an attempt to further capitalise on the situation, getting us to do more work for them (whilst paying them ever increasing council tax), so they can have thicker pile carpets and gold taps at chez council offices, and no doubt trim off some staff too.
These 'systems' certainly aren't developed for
our convenience.
