A lot of the problem IS the education that the Region of Peel has right now.
In the Waste Management pamphlet, it seems a lot of items are listed as both recyclable and not recyclable; the main thing that comes to mind is "Food Packaging"...

Apart from that; I do my best to put the proper things in the recycling bin and the compost bin.

Sounds like the increasing Asian population is encroaching on the proper etiquette of Canadian waste collection; they probably don't even under stand which bin is 'blue'.
