The mayor of Ipswich city council, Andrew Antoniolli, has warned every council will feel the brunt of China's recycling clampdown and ratepayers will eventually foot the bill.

The local government body has come under fire for dumping recyclable waste in landfill because it would have cost $2m a year to comply with China's tighter imported recycling regulations.
