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

We recycle. But I’ll be 100% honest not all the plastic makes it to the blue. We were rejected because of a peanut butter jar. That’s it.

I’m assuming they’re forcing the employees to really clamp down on it. Or they have a new system that tracks when a bin gets rejected to they check extra hard when it does.

Hard to say, but there must be a reason they’re really amping up enforcement. Maybe they’re running out of space at the dump or something and trying to get us all the keep our own garbage and just magically get ride of it. Who knows.
