I wouldn't think the council makes a profit from the waste they can sell. It will just help to defray some of the cost of collecting it. |

Makes me wonder Who pays Who,do the Council pay us for the waste ? (WHICH THEY SELL ON) or do we pay them with our rates to provide this service? Our green bin is an extra payment ,its collected every two weeks and is pretty good.its time the voices of the ratepayers was heard and listened to.not ignored.**M**. :-| :-| |

I can understand them checking full bins - but these were empty - just waiting to be taken in. |

One of the reasons is for the recycling bins. Recycling is used to keep council tax down, if anything not on the particular council's recycling list is put in the recycling bin it can contaminate the whole truck load. Our council published a list of the wrong things found in recycling, it included things like disposable nappies. All our recycling is mixed in one wheelie bin, it is then sorted after collection by an automated procedure. |

I caught part of a programme on this sort of thing a while ago. Yes, there are folk who go round checking on the contents of bins to make sure that we are putting the right stuff in the right bin. |
