This limit has been in place for a good while with the council. I had an old oven and hob removed about this time last year and I noticed that the limit was in place then.
Surely the majority of families wouldn't overstretch the limit would they? In the 6 years I've lived within the Borough, I've used this service 3 times, for the removal of large items (sofas, etc) and I consider myself an average consumer.

That's all well and good if you are already settled where you are, but if you have just moved then obviously you will have things to dispose of once you have unpacked/redecorated/removed previous family's rubbish. The council will not give you any leeway on that and will still only take 5 items. It took 4 consecutive weeks for the council to remove rubbish when I moved and I still had to dispose of a lot of it myself.
