"No way they would ever catch you. Like the trash dudes driving the trucks with automated pick up of the trash cans are going to notice?"

They may not catch you but they will fine the landlord.

Believe it or not, before the trash dudes arrive, the trash inspectors go through the garbage and if they find a recyclable item in the regular trash, the landlord gets fined.

Many landlords go through their tenant's trash so they would not be fined. So, be careful what you throw out. The landlord will know it's you.

Since I live in the suburbs in the south I have trouble relating to what you wrote. I am sure you are correct. However I just can’t imagine people going through trash cans. This is insane. So glad I don’t live in New York

Are you serious?
