I visited a landfill in Norway today. Almost everything is sorted, and properly sorted waste can be disposed of free of charge. Unsorted residual waste costs money to throw away.

I think it’s an effective incentive system. Does your country or municipality do something similar?

Interesting 🤓 ... pigs should be used more, but I think that is banned in Europe. Food here goes to making biogass for busses and trucks, or just composted.
