They are selling it to some recycling plant or are recycling themselves and then selling the product. So ultimately its lesser burden for the government.

Isn't it a new prospective.
There could be a problem prashank though, the valuable items might be what makes the pick up service viable. If too much gets taken out, leaving just the unvaluable crap, then the service could be either cancelled or peoples council rates are increased. So it could be classed as a transferred item, (to the council) that has been stolen.
