This is the grand challenge of recycling. How to sort the trash?
Is it really cheaper and more reliable to get citizens to sort it themselves? It's not hard to imagine a lot of people getting this mixed up and throwing waste in the wrong receptacle. Surely this then forces the recycler to verify that all the waste in the plastic bin is actually plastic. So if paid staff have to inspect the plastic anyway, how much harder is it to get paid staff to sort it?
I keep feeling that there has to be a better solution to this problem, because nine bins is ludicrously more complex than the one bin solution people are accustomed to.
