"I had a very similar experience while working as a contractor at Microsoft.
Most of the Birkenstockers there dutifully sort their trash, including in the cafeterias. It was hilarious to see these folks scrape and sort, and pontificate over any who shirked their civic duty, only to see the garbageman dump it all into the same hold of their trucks."
My wife is an office nurse for a family practice group in a good size medical building. The local Nazis have fined the group in the past for not separating their garbage.
So now one of the Doctors, a watermelon, has become the Complex's Garbage Nazi. His office has a corner view of the garbage storgage area with all of the marked and defined bins. He watches all day and then makes periodical visits to physically inspect the individual dumpers which are different colors and marked for specific garbage.
It doesn't matter. All of the garbage goes into one or two trucks, it is compacted together and the drivers drive to their next stops to put more garbage in the same trucks.

I can just imagine how the Dr. who performs this duty is described when being discussed by people in the office.

Insanity. Like Alice in Wonderland. Like a Monty Python skit.
