Here they have taken about a decade to die, and what has disappeared is 
actually the things that aren't covered by the (free) household 
collections.  I think some rethinking, by the supermarkets, my have been 
triggered.

Apart from the outright fly tipping that is happening there, it is the 
waste paper stream that is most obviously overflowing at the local 
supermarket, and much of the overflow is brown cardboard, so I think 
that there is an increase in demand for that stream, because of online 
shopping.
