My local coffee shop uses compostable cups and lids. I put them in my compost bin for pickup but the sanitation workers always leave the cups and lids behind. I’ve resorted to saving the cups and bringing them back to the shop to dispose of in their compost bin. Are they actually not compostable? Am I doing something incorrectly?

These are the non-food items that they take during curbside composting:

Paper towels and napkins, Paper plates, Compostable utensils, Coffee filters and tea bags, Paper bags, Paper trays and plant-based compostable trays, and Paper food boats.
