    Once worked for a municipality when the contracted garbage collectors complained that there was too much recycling in the trash and the other way around. They essentially have to trash everything in the recycling if it’s contaminated.

    We had to do some public information campaigns to try reduce it or the company would raise their rates, which would affect tax payers. The message did seem to get across to people, as the company stopped complaining.
