Yep, exactly that - apparently they weigh all the recycling as it comes in, and get paid for that weigh of recycling. It *then* gets sorted, and stuff like tetrapaks, along with other non-recyclables which people mistakenly put in, are taken out. So it benefits the councils to encourage people to include tetrapaks, even though most of them don’t actually recycle them. Although they are light individually, I bet enough of them would make a big difference to overall weight of recycling, and would therefore make a huge difference to the amount councils get paid!
