my issue with fortnightly collection is this
i used to get my bins picked up weekly now i get them picked up fortnightly ...
not a problem. Just refund my council tax bill for the weeks i no longer recieve a service for.

People say but they recycle now - Which is also good
BUT this makes recycle companies a lot of money.

I know this because my friend works at a plastic recycling plant.

So if the council are providing less of a service and saving money
and also they are no doubt recieving kick backs from recycling plants rtrying to win recycle contracts
why are costs going up for joe public ?

Yes, because that's exactly how council tax works.
There's an exact monetary amount that goes to each specific service you receive an dit's allocated againts your name so at the end of each year they can tell precisely what each individual has and hasn't used. At their Christmas party they thank each individual who has generated the surplus that pays for their beer.
