The more stuff they have to remove the more work they have to do, the more employees Western Waste needs to hire, the more you pay to recycle, the less all the people who have to pay like it.

It suggests fewer sorters because the stuff's pre-sorted. The people who pick up recycling detect mis-sorting. I mentioned it as a sign of how serious Scandinavians are.
We used to pre-sort here, but that was unpopular. You can figure out what Western Waste recycles and pre-discard what it can't, saving them the labor, the citizens the cost, all with no additional discard-labor on your part.
