Yes we have to do cardboard - we have seperate sacks for paper and
cardboard. Then they come round and empty both into the back of the same
truck. Go figure...

Well, it's possible that
(a) They are emptying into two separate compartments in the truck
(b) They are preparing for the day when they can do better paper
recycling but aren't there yet
(c) Something's gone wrong with the paper recycling they used to do
or
(d) It's an example of Blair-like joined-up thinking by 2 separate depts
in your council?
