Use a four-question check before you toss confusing items.
Sort clean, dirty, coated, and food-soiled packaging with less guessing.
Tell compostable packaging apart from items your compost program actually accepts.
Know which small household items deserve drop-off, e-waste, or hazardous-waste handling.
Build a tiny local-rule reference for the items that keep coming up.
