How much of taxpayers money is spent on recycling by the council?

The request was refused by Northampton Borough Council.

Dear Northampton Borough Council,

I would like to know how much funding goes behind recyling, and if that funding is solely from taxpayers.
This issue is dear to me as I am very passionate and serious about where hard-working people's money goes, and of the future of recyling.
Thank you.

Yours faithfully,
A concerned Journalist.
