The guy who does the trash can (which is literally the same kind of bin as the recycle bin, just a different color) doesn’t give a fuck, so the bottom of my trash bin fills up with trashy wet goo when it’s raining or snowing that I have to deal with. The worst is during the winter when it’s raining or snowing and then it thaws and freezes so I have a few inches of trashy ice in the bottom of the bin that is almost impossible to remove until the next thaw cycle (which could be months) unless I bring it inside.
I suspect it would actually annoy me less if a similar lack of care was taken with the recycle bin, but the contrast makes it painfully obvious that one guy is trying just a little bit harder than the other guy.
