Recycling Issues

[tomh009]

In my small building, the building manager has had to post a notice complaining about residents (probably new tenants) putting their garbage in the recycling bins. The garbage is supposed to go into a big bin at the end of the parking lot. Next to it is a bin marked cardboard only. I see a lot of cardboard going into the garbage bin, including from contractors installing new appliances or whatever. I don't know how tenants will be persuaded to separate their organics as well. I lived in a house which I shared with a couple of other people, and getting the others to properly use the green bin was difficult.

Yeah, contamination of recycling bins is a recurring problem. Everywhere, I expect. Alas, as I have now come to recognize, you can't fix stupid.
