At the end of the day the bin men just hook the bin onto the thingy at the back of the wagon and press a button
They might notice something obvious at the top
but if there is a mucky food carton (which we are allowed) half way down then there is no chance they will notice
they are also mostly unlikely to actually bother - they have enough work to get done without pratting about with notices and warnings
unless there is a big central problem when a "checker" might come round and do some checks as they go round
but even then - are they really going to empty a whole bin out to check if there are a few dodgy items at the bottom???
so in my mind it is mostly a moral issue - you know what you are supposed to do and why - so you should do it
I had this, had a load of cardboard to go, but no room in the recycling bin, so I asked the bin staff if they would throw the cardboard in the back of the truck, they said they weren't allowed as the new bin trucks are a different design, that means the hooks for the bin are in the way, with a large rubber curtain over the opening, and ,someone had sneaked up to throw some cardboard in, got caught on the hooks and lifted of the floor, so the council issued instructions that if it's not in the bin. it doesn't get taken
