"Tons of recycled household rubbish goes missing each year as council bosses admitted they had no idea what happens to the refuse after it has been collected."does not surprise me. First local councils instituted schemes to force their residents to carefully separate out their rubbish for recycling. Then local councils brought in systems to fine residents for not complying exactly with the myriad of rules that enforce recycling. Then local councils started using children to spy on parents and neighbours to ensure that no infraction goes un-fined. Meanwhile much of the carefully sorted rubbish is put into landfill or exported to China or Russia.
What a waste of our time and energy, but at least it has employed even more people in local authorities and generated some income in fines for local government.
