Doing so would go a long way in improving the recycling results and keep a lot more out of landfills than the pre-sort method does.

If you're referring to recycling centers to which we would have to haul our own garbage in our own car, FORGET it. Often our recycle and trash bags are so heavy I have to
drag them to the end of the driveway....am too stiff and sore to carry and lift.....no way would I try to lift them and get them into my car trunk where garbage leaks would goo and stink it up and would have to wash the trunk out in 95 deg. weather.
TV is clean and beautiful because the garbage service takes everything and hauls it away FOR us.
And then there's the subject of wasting gallons of water WASHING the recyclables at home before disposing of them....water conservation matters too.
