In Australia we pay about $700 a year to the local government to collect the bins

worth noting though this is not like a “you sort it out” thing or anything… it’s basically a tax

*council. It's part of your rates. My last were like $150 for recyc/garbage/green

Is a council not a government?

Governing body, certainly. In vic, they're considered a low tier of govt. In NSW they're actually considered 'elected corporate bodies'. It's weird.
