The thing is most sorting requirements are idiotic and despite them, trash still needs to be checked by hand, mostly because people put them in wrong bins(for example some paper cups shouldn't be put with paper - because they consist of 3 layers, and one of those layers needs a different process for recycling).
Over here the requirements are to sort your trash into 7 categories, of which 5 are recyclable.. and we generally speaking live in pretty small houses/flats compared to US.
why not make a simple system consisting of 3 categories: food waste(wet trash) - which you dispose daily because it stinks otherwise, dry trash - which won't stink, and recyclables?
The main idea behind recycling should be to make people recycle(emphasis on people), not to make it easier on sorting company, nor recycling company.
