Episode Details

Recycling in Southland’s getting cleaner — contamination dropped from 18% to 13% thanks to strict bin inspections, with repeat offenders facing bin confiscation. Twenty-nine homes have lost bins so far, and only nine tried to get them back. Still, 800+ tons of contaminated waste ends up in landfills, costing nearly $310K. New rules tighten the grip: three red tags in two years = no bin. Top contaminants? Soft plastics, food scraps, electronics, and dirty items.
