I actually think recycling is hard to do. Lots of stuff that qualifies as garbage is not easy to identify as one thing or another. Take plastic glued to paper or aluminized plastic bags. What am I supposed to do with this stuff?

My suggestion would be that manufacturers should be inclined to make packaging that more obviously belongs in one bin or the other.

BTW, and back to the green theme here. 99% of the time you hear someone talking about greenness on tv or advertising, it is just marketing. I call it the big green lie. Sort of like the compact flourescent bulb as green product - biggest lie ever when you consider the amount of mercury in those things that is finding it's way into our landfills - which are btw, not designed for it.
