All councils need to encourage the recycling of as much waste as
possible to reduce the amount of land fill tax they'll have to pay.


But how does collecting the rubbish every two weeks instead of every
week make a difference to that? The volume doesn't change overall....


a) Land fill tax is weight based not volume.

b) They hope that a bin full of recyables will encourage people to
recycle them. Recycled mass doesn't count for land fill tax.
