So how do you leave the "others" for garbage collection if you're not using bags?

Goes into a big outside bin that get emptied from the trash company.

Ah, lucky you then. Where I live, everything non-recyclable won't get picked up if it's not put out in garbage bags cinched tight.

They’ll stop picking up the trash here if it’s not bagged in the bin.

When they raise it and turn it upside down to empty it, the wind can easily cause any loose and light stuff to blow around and not end up in the truck.

One bin probably is a small thing, but I can definitely imagine if the entire block were doing it it would start to accumulate fairly quickly.

Do you have kids?

Free work needs to be subsidized. How much time does it cost you to sort what they dump&burn together anyway?

How much do you suppose you need to be paid for picking up the spoon and putting it in your mouth? Taking out the trash should be basic self maintenance

None? It takes me not even a second to decide what bin to put it into.

Compost goes to a compost facility that generates methane from it and then sells the excess as fertilizer. Plastics get recycled. Reusable glass bottles get cleaned and reused, other molten down and reused. Other gets burned, filtered, and generates electricity.
