My local Starbucks has 2 bins for recyclables and trash with little images about what to put in each bin. Many customers look at them, think, and put them in the right bin. Most just throw them in the middle trash bin.

At the end of the night, all three bins go into the same dumpster, they recycle nothing there.

Depends where you are. It says compostable or recyclable as the only options near me, but a google image search for "starbucks trash can" will show a lot of variation.

My gut feeling is this should be illegal. It's something like false advertising.
