      From what I’ve sent in emails, it doesn’t matter. People will “read” what they want then ignore the rest.

      It could be in large red flashing neon and people will still ignore instructions like this.
      Even if the trash dumpster is a mere 50 feet away.

      People just don’t care. Once it’s out of their hands, no matter where it ends up, it’s someone else’s problem.

      One complex where I used to live, our trash dumpster was a full on compactor, very nicely concealed behind a small hill. Signs leading up would say, “No cardboard!” Signs plastered all over the machine, “No cardboard!” Yet, at least once, if not twice a week, the thing would be clogged because people would toss in boxes by the truckload. Not even broken down.
      Meanwhile, just around the corner, a specific dumpster meant for cardboard only that would take all of 10 more seconds to get to.
