There's a lot to be gained from recyclables if you're the Cleveland cit government.
For instance, Cleveland.com reports that for every ton of recyclables they collect,
the city makes $26. On the other hand, the city was paying $30 per ton to dump trash in a landfill.

If Cleveland is making $26/ton, how much do you suppose Waste Management
or Republic (formerly Allied Waste) are making per billion tons,
that makes such a project to find every last holdout customer
worth the lobbying effort to get the County government to write it into enforcement law ?
When you need them, where's the NRA crying out:
" I'll give you my recyclables when you pry them from my cold, dead trash cart ! "
