The same sort of idiot logic was stuffed down our throats here by council. They reconfigured the bin route to reduce usage of the garbage truck and save the environment. So now we have 100s of residents towing bins behind their utes 1-2km each instead of one truck doing the rounds. Net effect is a lot more fuel burnt. Its pretty clear what the real motive was though.
