I used to have a little side job in Recycling and I tell you that we West Coast Canadians are terrible with recycling practices of sorting our re-useable commodities. I don't know if other parts of Canada are just as non-compliant, but I can see why the cost of recycling begin to go far over budget, become self defeating, and the bulk buyers rejecting 'contaminated' product often.
Sad to hear that's also an issue in your place.
Thanks for the reply!
