Recycling is hard. Can't tell you anything about this case, but often you have to get your program working before you can actually recycle material. It is not cost-effective to recycle until you get the volume of recycling up to a level where someone will buy it. So this could just be startup. Give 'em a break for a while. No need for 'gotcha' journalism discouraging residents to recycle.
