Reply to comment by Electrician_Logician in Who, exactly, makes these shitty yellow trash bags? by blup12

They don't reject them? The whole point of the yellow bag was that it's clear and they won't take it if there's recycling, or something you can't throw away in a trash bag in them.

If you believe that a man working his ass off all day, loading heavy bags of garbage into a truck is going to take a careful look what’s in that trash bag you’re on another planet. And no they’ve never rejected them.

I recently moved to the Woo and this actually happened. I didn't think that they wanted me to take out greasy pizza boxes because I figured that greasy pizza boxes would not be recycled. Because they're greasy. And had cheese on them and stuff. But they slapped some citation paper about not trashing recyclables on the bag and left it, saying they would be back for the bag in 24 hours and if not addressed in that time, I would be fined.

Well, thanks for that. No shit, but they're supposed to reject exactly that. That is the whole point of the trash bags, so I'm still a bit surprised.

We do the same thing. They definitely don’t care, as long as it’s in a yellow bag they take it.

Yeah, I don't know why I got downvoted, but I want to throw a lot of shit out now. I don't think our trash guys will take it though. They've been super picky.
