In Seattle, when you get pulled over because they suspect you've been drinking, the cops take you around to the back of their car and show you five bins of different sizes and colors, one of which is segmented into three sections with moveable partitions, two of which are lined with plastic bags. The officer hands you a box. If you can successfully sort all of the trash in the box into the compostables, landfill, glass bottles (separating dark colors, bright colors, and clear), paper, and plastic, then you're free to go.

For real??

This could be used as something like reCAPTCHA -- using DUI suspects to sort the city's recyclables.

No, of course not. I was being a little facetious with our city's rigorous standards of recycling. There's a reason there are ads mocking our recycling regime.
