I live in a large condo community. Our city has an excellent recycling program, accepts all plastics (#s 1-7), and provides our community with a sufficient number of recyling bins...4 per street. 2 large blue bins for plastics and 2 large yellow bins for paper.

 Unfortunately, some residents do not know how to recycle properly, or are just too lazy to do so (I give everyone the benefit of the doubt).

I see plastic in the paper bin and paper in the plastic bin. I see people put their newspapers for recycling into plastic grocery shopping bags and put it in paper bin or vice versa. Empty cans in the paper bin, etc. You get the idea.

I try to avoid confrontation, so I instead printed a Recycling Instructional page from our city's website and taped it to the dumpster door, which is where the recycling bins are located. Our community groundskeeper tore it off, saying NO ONE is permitted to post anything on our dumpster houses or the mailboxes.

I have gone so far as sorting through the bins and separating them to their proper bin. Unfortunately it has become such a clusterfuck that it would take me 30-45 mins a day to do this on a daily basis. I do not have that kind of free time. Plus, no one likes picking up after other peoples' crap.

 How do you propose I resolve this issue without starting a 'beef' with any of my neighbors?  How do i show them how easy it is to recycle properly and that it takes absolutely no time whatsoever  to do so, it just becomes instinct after time.
