I also limit what goes in our trash and only put out a bag or two a week. And our city is in charge of refuse and recycling but they contract out with a waste management company - the city doesn’t have its own dump or recycling facilities (and this has been my experience in cities big and small across the country.
I watch the trash and pickup process a lot (because of a toddler) and what I’ve noticed is that bagged trash gets removedd up out of bins and thrown into the truck while the recycling gets removedd up by the “arm” and dumped; that’s where the spillage comes from.
Regardless of our differences in garbage strategy, surely we can at least agree that threatening to decapitate someone for using your garbage can is, at the very best, completely insane.
