    My area has recycling presort. So we have two bins that get picked up by the trucks. One garbage, one recycling. They dump them into the same hole on the truck. They drive the truck into the same building. The only thing the comes out of the building are loaded train cars. They all look the same. So all the neighbors presort their trash. And the trash company mixes them back together. Thanks trash company!

      My area has separate trucks for each type of trash (regular, recycle, compost). And fines people for throwing the wrong things in the wrong bin.

        My area supposedly does the same thing. I’ve always wondered how they figure out who the trash belongs to.

          That’s a good question. I’ve wondered that too. I don’t know any cases of single households being fined.

          I know the apartment complex I used to live in got fined for not recycling enough.
