Notes to answerer
Asker: Okay, I get it. You're saying that they are being paid for the waste they are shipping of to recyclers. This is a sustainability report and they hadn't mentioned that they were paid for the recycling, but I think you are right!

cover the costs


Explanation:
as this is a service provided by the local council, it is a cost to public funds, but however the value of the bags and packaging helps to "cover the cost".
Sounds good to me at least :@)
