>. So strict that people are fined for not doing it properly.
Some parts of Oregon I lived in had high cost for general trash (almost every trash bin/dumpster I encountered was chained locked) and to use the city dump you needed an ID and maybe even required to live in the same county.
The result of these asinine policies to force people into 'recycling' things that aren't recyclable and making trash so onerous that all you can find is locked up dumpsters, is you would often see piles of trash and junk in the national forest or BLM land, the result of either extreme inconvenience or desperation.
That dumping is probably not about recycling policies, but more about the cost of trash. Illegal dumping still happens in places where recycling is barely offered.
