Having until recently worked for my local council (June 2004 to July 2006), this issue is at the front of the agenda, the main topic at evevy staff briefing is the issue of recycling and how to reduce domestic waste, and the determination that this will be done is there and very real. The issue of admin costs is never mentioned, it simply talked of in the terms that it can and will be done, the issue of knock-on things such as fly-tipping is not taken into account other than the community wardens that are employed by the local council will focus on this issue. Of course the issue that your neighbour might try to put rubbish into your bins is that you yourself, will be expected to stop them from doing this.
