Trying to be a good recycling citizen...

If I've determined that removing a certain food residue (peanut butter from the walls of a jar, dried cheese from a paper to-go container, etc) is not something I am invested enough in being a good person to do... should I put it in the trash or recycling?

With single stream I believe there are actual human beings providing some of the sorting, so pizza boxes end up mostly getting pulled out/trashed unless the recycler follows the instructions and only includes the unsoiled parts.

That would explain it.
