The Netherlands does this too, but its what happens after thats the scam. Trash and recycling companies cannot deal with the way stuff is separated and even say to just throw everything in the trash so they can recycle stuff themselves. Local governments forced the separated recycling issue though. The bags with recyclables just go straight to landfills or are illegally shipped to China or Thailand in containers hidden between others.

As a Dutchman, I'm kind of curious about this. Do you have a source?

I do know that several cities have done away with the plastic trash deposits and have it automatically seperated from the general waste afterwards by waste processing companies such as this one:
