My apartment complex recycling bin fiasco last Tuesday finally clicked

Last Tuesday I saw the recycling truck dump our entire bin into the regular trash compactor at my complex in Austin. I asked the driver why and he said the bin had too much food waste and plastic bags mixed in, so the whole load got rejected. It hit me that I've been throwing things in there without checking if they're actually clean or sorted right. Has anyone else found out their building's recycling is just going to a landfill anyway?

Man that totally stinks, I'd be frustrated too if I found out my efforts meant nothing.
