    That is pure laziness of whoever is responsible for puting the bags there.

    Either there is a support bracket for two separate bags on the underside if that lid or the trash bin originally had two separate buckets that were taken away.

      nah its not whoever’s putting the bags in, it’s either management deciding it’s too inefficient to deal with two streams, or the people using the bins weren’t capable of separating so just threw it wherever and so it all ended up mixed anyway

        I can all but guarantee it’s the latter. I have even noticed this at most Starbucks. They got rid of separate bins for recycling and just do trash/landfill now.

        Fwiw, recycling doesn’t work anyway, except for metal. But even then it’s highly dependent on people cleaning the metal before recycling.

      Recycling is literally a scam plastic either can’t be recycled, can but are not recycled, are recycled while producing more waste than would be saved by not recycled or incinerated. Recycling plastic has never been possible they knew that from the beginning and nothing changed with modern technology. This is just shifting the blame back to himself.

    I’m sure they’ll be really mad about the sorting when they burn it all on a beach in Turkey

      Just where each bin goes at the end of the pipeline. They streamlined it for efficiency.

        This is one bin with one volume inside. The lid might have been designed for a bin with two separate volumes inside and some worker who doesn’t care put it in the wrong bin or an artist made the lid to protest ineffective, green washed recycling efforts.
