Would some kind soul explain in simple language that any idiot could understand, particularly councillors, what part of the council tax is for if not for removing domestic rubbish?

I said about that months ago on here, Some councils already have the equipment and use it in competitions between estates to get them to recycle more. The winner gets more estate play equipment or more funding for the youth club to help keep kids off the streets, or community centre. they do of dourse eventually intend to charge by weight for no recycled waste. I'm sure it will come to accy sooner than you'd all like, but thats life. The tips are full and there's no where to put it. councils are now being charged a riduculas sum per tun to get rid of your rubbish.
As for the textiles, those that can't be used as clothes get recycled as rags for garages, shoes I'm not sure about, rindy's handbags get cut up and sewn in to pvc dresses for lap dancers in blackpool.
