No, it isn't. And I believe the mayor has been vocal how much the constant stream of contaminated loads are costing the city. I'd say 9 out of 10 bins here in EP have not just trash, but visible trash and it still gets picked up.

I meant that I read that the facility is well-run, not that the citizens are properly rinsing and flattening and only putting acceptable recyclables in the bin. I’ve only lived here one year so all I know is based on what I read when I looked online. We need mandatory recycling like in Japan… Thanks for letting me know more about it.
