Do you pay to recycle? Probably not. Do you pay for your trash? Probably yes.

It's more economical for a household to recycle all that can be recycled, as you will produce less trash and spend less money.

Whether or not it actually gets recycled is not really our problem, it's sad if it doesn't, but we should do our part to the best of our ability and communicate to our elected officials that we feel it's important that our plastic is properly recycled and not just turned into trash with extra steps

The old hit them in the wallet technique. Paying for trash bags was enough for the general resident to consider how to use/pay for less trash bags. When this gets scaled up to the municipal level the impact can be profound.
