I'm already hearing people say we can solve the PackagingAndPrintedPaper problem by collecting paper one week and packaging the next. This is what they do in Ottawa.
The rationale for this pickup schedule is that it keeps the materials separate, while also maintaining some sort of economies of scale by making use of the same fleet of trucks.
But this economy of scale benefits packaging unfairly: the containers continue to be collected at a loss, while the paper pays more than its way.
Let's take care of paper, and let packaging figure out a system of its own... like, for instance, joining the deposit/refund system?
