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
I'd be more inclined to think that the hose was pulled out by a bottle picker or someone else going through your bin.

I doubt any driver is going to climb into the back of their truck to pull out an item when they have employees working at the sorting facility who does that job.
