Why is paying people for working a day less great? I think most residents would prefer to see their bins emptied more frequently than have council workers get a day off while being paid for it.

There is no correlation between those things. The problems of GCC are mainly due to underfunding.

> Underfunding

> Staff have little enough work to do that they can reduce their work week by 20%

Overstaffing / underfunding, two sides of the same coin.
