This is how Warsaw, capital of Poland, EU member works. Recycling bins are mandatory per EU policy, garbage trucks load all three bins into the same bed and dump it into the same landfill, city pays EU fine. Everyone is happy because

- people get to pretend they care

- collecting is cheaper than using 3x the number of vehicles

- its cheaper than actually doing something sensible with segregated garbage.
