I’m trying to understand why, for several weeks now, our trash collectors have been taking our clearly marked recyclables and dumping them into the truck along with our trash. I noticed that the neighbors who have dedicated blue recycle bins seem to remain for the recycle truck.

Wondering if it’s because our cans are old, round (green) trash cans on which we’ve affixed large, blue RECYCLE stickers - which seemed to work for a while, but not now. (Though last week, they took ONE of the recycle cans as trash but left the other for the recycle truck - go figure.)

Do we need to buck up and buy a blue bin?

EDIT: I’d add a photo but trying to figure out how to upload… probs can’t in mobile.
