Found a loophole in my city's recycling program that actually saved me $40 a month

I live in Portland and kept getting charged extra fees for 'contaminated' bins even though I followed all the rules. After 3 months of this I tried separating my plastics by the triangle numbers and putting them in a clear bag on top. Has anyone else found their local recycling rules have hidden workarounds like this?
