I had a long plastic hose and thought the best way to dispose of it would be to recycle it in the blue bin. When I decided to do this, there was already some material in the bin and then before the pick up day, we put more on top, so the hose was somewhere in the middle.
I came home to find it in the middle of the street, so presumably the truck driver saw it (I think they have cameras?), decided it wasn't appropriate material and fished it out of the truck...
Now, maybe this is on me, but 1) It seemed a little dickish to just throw it in the street and 2) I guess I'll put it in a garbage bag and throw it in the black bin for next week... That'll show me
