Agreed, what do we pay Council Tax for?

We used to bury all rubbish in a big hole in the ground. Now we have to pay the council to collect it, but some of the time they won't, then they charge us yet again for our rubbish not meeting their rules, which tend to be interpreted somewhat foolishly by their staff. I guess that's progress.
