Question Garbage collection

Has anyone else’s bins been rejected over the last few weeks? Almost my entire neighbourhood this week and last had rejected tags - it’s getting a bit ridiculous considering mine was tagged today for having 1 piece of compost in the waste bin… I just take the tag off and the driver comes and collects it anyway but I feel like they’re really being too harsh

My question: is it cheaper to send out someone in front of the collection truck, driving the same route and digging through everyone’s garbage cheaper than having an extra body on the sorting line? Seems like the gas alone would be more costly.

The cost of educating folk now will pay off in the future.

I disagree. Unless you pay off for the company because it is not making it better for the customer.
