Why are Toronto Condominiums abandoning City re-cycling program?

Toronto condominium corporations representing about 75,000 owners and residents decided to opt out of the city run recycling program over the last 2 years.
Why?
"The waste rate program was unfair, punitive and un-transparent" a spokesman for the greater Toronto Apartments Association told a recent public works committee meeting.
A confusing and punishing rate system has resulted in roughly 375 of the 5000 multi-unit buildings deciding to leave the city system in favour of private removal providers.
The public works committee voted to recommend that council approve a new flat fee system in order to halt the defections and possibly recapture some or all of the Toronto condominium corporations that have left the program.
The new fee system would be similar to one offered by private removal providers.
If the new system is similar or the same as private removal providers, why would Toronto condominium corporations go through the hassle of switching suppliers with no cost benefit to them?
