Is it against the law to put your trash and recyclables in other people's personal receptacles?

Exactly how much trash are you carrying on your person on a daily basis that this is an issue?

Do you not have your own trash bins, or afford those City Trash Bags? From what I can find, a pack of 5 official city large bags is $6.75

I think you're taking this way too seriously. I don't usually carry that much trash and recyclables when I'm out in public. I usually dispose of my trash in public trash cans, and if I have any recyclables that can't be redeemed with vouchers I put them in public recycling receptacles. If no public receptacles for trash and/or recyclables are available I just wait to get rid of my stuff when I go home.

I have a plastic bin I put recyclables in which I put out by my curb on collections day and yes I buy city bags and fill them up with garbage and put them by my curb next to the recycling bin on collections day.

I can put city bags over contractor bags full of garbage.

I have a checklist of what materials can and can't be recycled.

I was told until the Covid-19 scare is over I don't have to be concerned about buying city bags. I was told I can leave my trash out by my curb for pickup on collections day. I assume I can just leave trash in contractor bags next to my bin full of recyclables by my curb for pickup on collections day.

That's good. A pack of large city bags costs about $7.
