I was working at a fast food restaurant, emptying the trash cans several times a day, when my city decided to mandate separate recycle and compost bins in dining areas. It tripled the number of cans I had to empty and clean out, but they all ended up in the same garbage dumpster. Some of my coworkers didn't give a fuck but I couldn't in good conscience dump a bin full of half-empty milkshakes and chewing gum into the recycling dumpster, or a bunch of foil wrappers and plastic bottles into the compost.
