I have been issued 3 bins - trash, recycle, green stuff.

I fill up whichever bin is closes to my walk to the trash &/or whichever is easiest. Regardless of whatever I am carrying is trash, recyclable, or green.

They can sort it out as they wish.

A pox on you and scofflaws like you. I worked at a landfill that also turned green waste into compost (alleged compost). People like you were dumping all kinds of crap, including transmissions and axles, in their green waste cans. When one of those hit the shredder's blades it would trash an $800,000 machine, costing upwards of $100,000 to fix it. Even full-time crews couldn't keep up with scanning the green waste for contaminants, and it cost $100's of thousands of dollars in additional manpower for that screening. They finally figured out it was cheaper to hire inspectors to go around prior to the pick up and check the green waste cans for contamination and fine the homeowner. It eventually made a noticeable difference in the crap, but just made the whole recycling program less efficient (not that it was a good use of resources anyway, but why make it a bigger problem than it already is?)
