I can tell you why ~that~ is. It's because the government has this backward notion that businesses (ie, they who generate the most recyclable paper waste) should pay to have it collected. And if you cart it up to the local plant yourself? It's rejected as it's 'business waste' or they ring up later to complain. Basically most companies only have incentives NOT to recycle.
